Felting beads-

I was playing around with some wool roving and made some felted beads. I used emboidery thread and stitched them, making them more like disks than rounded beads. Then I strung them with other beads. I made matching earrings. One one, I made a focal piece from loosely felted roving and added some sparkle with some heat bonded rhinestones.

I like the bulky feel of the piece without the weight. These are very lightweight to wear, but I don't think I can be convined to wear them in the dead heat of summer! I can see me wearing these with a nice plain shirt with a jacket in the Fall or early Spring, depending on the colors.
