Springtime Nests

Hello my dear friends,

I bought myself some new rubber gloves ~ one left hand and a right hand ~ and I got to do my felting at last. I can now finally share my new felted nests with you. I have had so much fun making these and this time I made them spring time nests. I used many new types and colors of wool to give the effect of fresh moss, dried little twiglets and spring time colors.

And this time I added a new little idea and twist to the nests which I came up with while I was working on them.

Remember these?

 I had asked you if you could guess what they would become and the answer is ... 

... little book page leaves!!

I wasn't too sure about the shade of green I chose for the leaves so I made some more but without the color wash and I liked them if not just as much as the green ones, maybe even more. 

I not only got carried away taking many photos again but I also got carried away in making many nests as you will see and ... I still have 4 more on my worktable right now waiting to be finished!

Combined the felted nest and paper leaves make these lovely creations!

... Springtime nests ...

...  just be waiting for some little bird to come and call it home.

I made a bigger one ...

... and smaller ones ...

... some with green leaves ..

... and some with white ...

... some with little flowers ...

... and some without ...

... but each one just as pretty as the other never the less!

I hope you have enjoyed my newest creation today. You can still find my felted nest tutorial on the right side of my blog under my free tutorials if you wish to try it for yourself.

I  hope you are well and life is treating your kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day,

Karen B.
