Mixing Hobbies

I have primarily worked with polymer clay the past 10 😳years. Painting and drawing have been my peaceful place since I was a teen.  I started needle felting about 5 years ago. This works for me because I get bored with one medium and move to the next.

Needle felting has become my obsession this year because Fall and Christmas decorations are so beautiful in needle felting.

I have made and collected Santas for many years.  I enjoy making needle felted Santas but the eyes are a  bit of a challenge. This year I decided to mix my hobbies together. I made polymer clay eyes for my Santas and gnomes.

I purchased glass eyes and have needle felted eyes which looked okay.

The one on the left has glass eyes and the one on the right has needle felted eyes.

I have to say though the clay eyes are so realistic!

Have a joyful holiday and a Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!
