Needle felting

Needle felting is the process of using barbed needles to repeatedly jab unspun wool or other fibers to form a more condensed material, which can then be scultped into shapes. Click here to see a before and after picture of one of the cats pictured below.

Hand rolled paper beads

I design the paper for these beads on the computer and then roll the paper on bamboo sticks. After gluing and drying the beads, I apply varnish to protect them from brief exposure to moisture. Eyelets on the ends of the beads finish them nicely and prevent the ends from crumpling. Prolonged exposure to moisture or immersion in water is not recommended. The beads pictured below range from about 1/4 inch to 1 inch.
