Special people deserve special gifts.  My husband and I brewed an amber beer as a wedding gift for a close, special, and also artsy friend of mine.  Home-brewed beers need home-made labels, which is what you see above.  I also did an inverted version.
See final product below:

Felted Fish

This is my first needle-felting project. I used a kit sold by Licorice Tree.
Her's is much cuter. I decided to make mine a little heinous.

I found needle-felting to be an incredibly satisfying artistic endeavor.  I look forward to doing more needle-felting in the future!  (as if I need one more hobby... :-p )
