WOOL LABYRINTH MANDALAS

I went to a Wellness Expo recently and was inspired to make these Mandalas after reading about how to meditate. The eastern practice of Mandala meditation has been used for centuries as an effective tool in calming the soul and clearing the mind of clutter. Mandala meditation is for the beginner and the long-time meditater alike. It may be of particular utility to those that have difficulty sitting still and being in the moment, as concentrating on an object helps to focus energy inside the present self. As in all meditation practices, there is no right or wrong way.

I decided to needle felt a Labyrinth on the wool so you can easily trace it with your finger with your eyes open or close while you clear your mind in getting ready to meditate. Some people like to put the Mandala up on a wall and focus on it before meditation.

I used heavy wool material and added a glass bead in the center and at the bottom with my initials. They all mesure about 12"X12". I really enjoyed making these and it helps me to calm the mind when I use it also.

I have several of these, so when ordering please specify the color backround you would like to have.

When I saw this lobster, It was screaming at me to turn him into a pincushion so I had to do it.  Growing up in the Maritimes, lobster was a meal on a regular basis during the lobster season so it brings back a lot of memories looking at this little guy.  I know this lobster is a male because he has slim hips,lol.  I needle felted this one with white Merino wool. This is a great pincushion for someone who loves to collects lobster memorabilia or to just put your pins into this funny one.  It mesures 6 1/2" long, 3" long and 2 1/2"high.

Here it is folks, hot off the press.  Sorry for not posting last night but got home late from work and wasn't able to post.  I seem to be always saying this but I honestly wasn't able to post.  This cutie is a delight to look at.  I needle felted this tea cup using a lovely gold color BFL wool.  The tea cup itself is a Royal Vale Bone China footed cup.

This Royal Vale cup features yellow, pink and blue flowers with green leaves accented by dramatic gold trim on the handle, the rim and the base.  The measurements of this Royal Vale Bone China footed cup are;  2 7/8 inch height, 2 3/4 inch mouth diameter. Together the needlefelted wool and tea cup make a lovely pincushion.

Remember I don't glue the pincushion into the cup in case the collector would like to use the cup.
