Diving In

They’re about to jump!

Going against the directions, I finished eyeing, seaming, sewing and stuffing my woodins and their home before giving them a light felting. Oh, i hope that was a good idea. It just seemed to make more sense, and I like the way felting strengthens seams and joins and whatnot. I’ve heard stories about this Ella Ray Classic wool i’m using–it supposedly felts in an instant–and i want these lightly felted enough so that the seams don’t felt all wonky.

So, there’s a quick pictures of the little guys on the edge, ready to jump in, as proof that they were once cute, just in case such proof is needed. i’m off to check on their progress…

Updated to add: they finished their extra short trip just before i posted–and they don’t look a bit felted. so they’re going on another trip–this one with hot, instead of warm, water, and on low, instead of delicate. Wish ‘em luck!
