I'm working on a collection. I made all these from wool roving. some are beaded on the outside. They're called felt geodes.

Fun, but time consuming. Great to do while you chat with friends.

    I've made these before... but mine have always been balls wrapped in layers so you get concentric circles when you slice it. I really like your surprising random interior design!

    They are absolutely the most fun to make when you are just sitting around chatting with friends - old and new! I love the one I made in your class, and it always makes me smile - fond memories of a wonderful three days of class with you!

    I do like this! The first thought I had was to add beads. However, my idea was to add beads to the inner surface. I just read of a technique called "Messy Beads" that lets you add them in clumps for real texture. But, I love your surface beads!
