Golden Hamster

ANother day of felting, well mostly felting. This morning me, my sister and mum went to the movies and saw The Jungle Book, which was very cool. It was done very well with the cool effects of talking animanls and all. The theatre was full of little kids, and to my surprise they weren't distracting at all which was really nice.

Anyway after the movies I wanted to get my hampster done.
Ta-Da

He's so cute. I had so mch fun making him. With his little yellow body, and tiny feet and ears. They are all soo cute. 

He's another photo with the penguin

They're just so adorable together. I can't wait to see how the others will turn out.

It's the attack of cuteness right now. Today I had a package arrive for me with four felting kits that I had ordered. And I'm so happy.
A fair while ago I descovered felting and had a bit of practise with some materials, but I felt like i need some gidenece to improve my skills and all. Whats really cool about felting is that it is super easy and fun.
So I decided to get some packs.
I've only done one today but hopefully throguhout the week I can post the others.

Here is the penguin that I started with. He looked the easiest to start with.

Here is the packet that I got. So as you can see there is also a hamster in the same packet, so i'll him a bit later in the week.

It took me about an hour and a half to complete, which was a really good use of my afternoon.
The only 'problem' i had to overcome in this felting indevour is that the instrctions are in japanese. So that was fun trying to figure out what the pictures/diagrams were telling me to do. I could kind of understand a few words since I took japanese three years ago. But even then my japanese language skills are very very limited. But I got there in the end and can't wait to get started in the next one.
