November, 2016 Meeting of the Birmingham Doll club

The November, 2016 meeting of the Birmingham Doll Club was hosted by Dorothy.  The meeting included a workshop to make felted angels.  Dorothy always makes crafting look so easy!  First we took a hunk of wool and worked it into a tight round ball with a special barbed needle. 

The ball became the head and was further felted onto a wire frame to make arms and a torso. 

Additional wool was added to create a felted skirt over a styrofoam cone

Lastly the hair and embellishments were added to make the angel beautiful!
