New Project started...Raven

Started A Raven wall hanging last night.
Using a piece of 100% wool felt this time (Half price in the sale at Joann's store)
Rough sketch of a Raven head.



Added some Black tops needle-felted in then a little white and black tops for the beginnings of the beak.


Found a Button in Granny's button tin for the eye.


Puzzled a little and decided to add a Sun/Moon to the picture with pale yellow and some white wool.





 

 I have ideas on the next bit and would like to charge along ...but...slipped on black ice this morning and did something to/sprained? my little finger on my right hand so I'm resting it today and hopefully get on tomorrow!

Hope you are having a fun and Sunny time. (We had ice and snow this morning and Sun this afternoon!)

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
