Isn't this lovely? Ethan and I completed this necklace. I found the felted beads in an etsy shop, Alchemy Fibre Arts, and ordered several different types. I had thought, originally, that Bethy and I would use them together, but Bethy is busy drawing with her colored pencils and crayons, and Ethan (who is always interested in seeing how things work) wanted to pull the needle through the beads. We used glass beads to contrast with the rougher felt and strung everything on a piece of silk ribbon.
As Ethan is so proud to tell you, he is four years old, now, and able to do quite grown-up things. Yes, Ethan. Quite able!
I used some of the flatter "pebbles" to make flowers for the edge of a page in a new book I'm working on (this is almost unbelievably slow work, which is why I couldn't think of selling one of the books— labor at ten cents an hour would be all I might realize from my efforts).
