Ed

Hi all...I introduced myself a few weeks ago while waiting for my supplies and have finally (nearly) completed my first character from Kay's online class . This is my 3rd stab (pun!) at needle felting, and I had the best time! There's some finishing up work yet to be done, but I just couldn't wait to take pictures. Turns out that this is a memory of my paternal grandfather, who passed when I was 8 or 9. Ed had to have a cigar, since I never saw my grandpa without one.

I learned so much while working on this, the next little person will be even more fun!

Hi Judy,

Your Ed is wonderful, he reminds me so much of my grandfather, just change that cigar to a pipe and it's him, and my grandfather's name was Ed. Thanks for sharing him. Great Job!

Warmly,
Patti

Very nice! You did a lovely job with the facial features, Judy. Ed is a winner!

That's great, I like his face, and the hands are really good

Wow! Great job.

Thanks, everyone, for the encouragement! I'll be a student for a good while yet, but I'm finding the needle felting process to be fascinating!! Amazing how it seems to take you where it wants to go. Love it!!

I don't know anyone else who does this, so your feedback is most appreciated! Thanks again for taking the time to comment on Ed.
