That's a good idea HGL.

My daughter did a similar thing for our local show this year .... for the craft tent. She did a watercolour painting for the card and attached a homemade brooch thing at the top.

That's the exact thing I meant, it can be as simple or as special as you want, even a ready made card with flowers on and attached the felted flower....

Great idea. I did think about making some cards but combining card and brooch to wear later would be even better. I would need to make them smaller. At the moment, they are anything between four and eight inches in diameter.

I'm having great fun making them though. I intend selling them at craft fairs. Some friends and I are having a craft party in my home in a few weeks. They make jewellery and greetings cards.

Needle felting is fun, Sandy and so easy to do. The photos are only a selection of the many I've made so far. I bought a bag of small pieces of dyed fleece and decide my colours by what is available. Some have beads sewn on. Just waiting for the pins to arrive now so I can finish them off.
