Trying new things

I am very excited about this!!
This technic I want to try (I am gonna) is called needle felting. I first met with this beauties when I run into Fieltrunguis' blog a couple of years ago; her blog is so full of cute and adorable stuff. Maru (the owner of this lovely blog) is a great artisan who makes amigurumis and needle felted animals... I also first met with all the amigurumi theme with her blog.
Well, last week, just before I finish the first term at Uni I FINALLY FOUND FELT, which is the material you need to needle felting. I almost cry when I saw it... I think I was looking for it since a year and a half, or more! Immediately after I finished my classes I run to buy some light-blue felt, just enough to try this technic and see if I like it or if I'm good at it.

Now, if you're interested on how this needle felted toys, here there are some cute examples:













And this is like felt looks like and those are the materials you need to do this technic:














Alright. This is my post for today... I think (I THINK) tomorrow I'll put something about another of my passions: vintage fashion! ^^
Hope you like this!!

Free as a bird


Well well, I'm back again... after (I think) a month without posting. You know why.
Today, lovely people I'm in the middle of my Winter Holidays. And what was up with me until today??
-Lost a course at Uni (laskdjklajsdlkas NOT my fault!)
-Presented three skirts at the Fashion designing course for which we used as inspiration "Tim Burton". So it was pretty goth and dark and Alice's style. GREAT SKIRTS! I gotta thank my friends Rosina, Belén, Micaela and Cecilia for those. Thank you girls!
-Bought many things, such as paper, colour pencils, markers and stuff like that so I won't get bored during holidays.
-Met my old Primary School friends for the um, "Friends day". Was absolutely fun!!!
-Draw fashion.... A LOT!!!! For which I used as inspiration: "What would I wear if I were a rock star..." and it came out from that a lot of lovely things, I hope one day I made in fabric and thread.
-Watch like a thousand movies (I am an addict).
-And now I am going to sew my "Bag of Ideas".

Well, I had a pretty indoors holidays so far... but! but at least I go out when going to the gym, right? RIGHT? :3
Anyways, I like it this way. Not going to the city like I do every single day when I go to Uni... I feel relax and happy and energic and I'm very inspired by everything. Very productive! I wish it was like this once in a while during classes... I wish.

Alright friends. I am going to try to sew my bag and then try to needle felting. Yeah!!!
With alllllll my love and great mood, Safi.
XOXO
