Christmas in a Hurry - Day 3

DAY 3 - HANDMADE ORNAMENTS, COLOR SCHEME AND TREE DECOR

WITH FREE DOWNLOAD

Tired of the same tree decoration? This year I decided to make my own ornaments (again) but not the traditional "ball" but shapes and characters. As you know I make each video the same day I post it, I started making the ornaments with daylight and ended using lamps at 5pm. Everything you see was made in one day including the photos and still got time for the video. Also I have a template for my felt ornaments, you know I love felt and Christmas was the best excuse to use it. (download it at the end of the post)

Felties and Crochet go Mini

Small felt animals and other cute things! Offering Made-to-Order =)

I'm so happy to see my felt designs on the web, specially when made for someone as special as Ishtar Olivera Belart. I've been doing felties (as I call it) since 2007. 

My love for felt began back when I was a kid, it was affordable, had many colors and used a lot in school. I made a protective bag for my ballet pointe shoes, years later I was very obsessed with monster and gave my boss one, and she loved it and suggested to sell them... Little she (and I) known!

I couldn't stop and I'm glad I didn't. From cute animals, to common objects I transformed everything into felties. For example the pig above is a keychain from the Heart Series, where all the felties have a heart. This pig (Pinky) will be in my store this week, as I finished the rest of the series.

I started making mini felties for a while now and I'm obsessed with everything MINI.I made some cute crochet designs I sent to Ishtar, also paper stuff and now playing with clay... OMG!! please some one stop me now! The smaller the cuter. 

Here some ongoing work. Some of this mini designs will be available on the shop this month (hopefully, if I don't lose my sight) So if you want a small design in felt, crochet or clay let me know! I recently made a special request of a cute bird and some small animals for a birthday decor, that were given away as party favors!
