So I've discovered a new art that I had never heard of until now. Felting! It is a seriously addictive art form using a puff of wool and a needle or soap! I learned of felting through my daughter's school, Sea Star Initiative in Boca Raton which is an emerging Waldorf school. If you've never heard of the Waldorf philosophy, its definitely worth checking out at whywaldorfworks.com. Anyway, in the school the children are taught through storytelling, puppetry and play. They are encouraged to play with things from nature, wood, wool, silk, etc. You can't find these things in regular stores and a lot of them are so basic that being the crafty (and thrifty) person that I am I decided I could make my Juliet some of her own toys. Here are some pics of my new obsession. PS I'm still making my peasant dresses!
