well that's interesting... I've never even heard of wet felting. They're lovely!

Have you built that 3-car garage yet? :)
I wish! After a long, hard look at my finances and what it would take to get in better shape for retirement in 3 years instead of 7, the garage renovation has been put on hold indefinitely. Not ideal for the craft projects but, at least for the moment, I'd rather be able to be totally debt free going into retirement sooner than later. Now if Steve would just agree to my going to AZ for the winter months, I might reconsider that option. :smile2:

Here's my Starry Night, but I haven't reached the Tardis yet.
This is twelve weeks work.

This is the painting I copied. The original is Pablo Labato. He does amazing work. I'm going to be doing a copy of Elvis for a friend soon. I can't afford these people's work, so I just do the best I can to get the feel of their work. I think I did pretty good.

I ended up having to hand draw it on the canvas. I was going to use a projector to trace it out, but the bulb burned out and expensive to replace. So, I did a lot of drawing and erasing to get a decent copy.

Also, this was still a work in progress at this point. I had touch ups and clean up still to do.

:rofl: Well, he's not a fiancé but he was the one who influenced my looking harder at my finances rather than giving into my emotional thinking about the situation. I'm sure I'll be thanking him instead of growling about it once the bills are paid off and I can retire earlier instead of later. :smile:

This is my take on the Michael F. Lang painting. Of course, his is much more professional obviously , but I didn't do bad. I'm learning and she's very vibrant! hahaha!
I can't see your pictures on either post!!

Moderator those are gorgeous - I've never heard of wet felting before!

AnnaMarie Gorgeous and intricate.
