It's needle felting ... and I will probably end up playing with wet felting too.  I don't have any photos up yet, because I just started.  I took a class while at the Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire, Queen's College.  My first creation was a very lopsided owl.

I am always up for new craft ideas, I will have to check this out!!

Nimue and I are eagerly awaiting our journey to Larkspurshire. We begin our journey from our fortress in just under 5 weeks, and we are looking forward to seeing some mountains. They have things that they call mountains in Arkansas, but they are little more than minor interruptions in our horizontal vision.

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

We call those Speed Bumps.

We call those Speed Bumps.

LOL! Even though I'm from the lowlands, I have to laugh when people around here declare that they're going to the mountains for the weekend...

And we are looking forward to your visit!

But you can dig for diamonds out there!  (And I have now exhausted my knowledge of Arkansas.)

Arkansas is famous for diamonds and hogs.  What more could a girl want?

[Merlin the Elder]

Actually, you can dig for diamonds in any state in the union! You can dig until you are blue in the face... There are diamonds in a couple other states, I believe, but we actually have a public park for it...

Other trivia: We have the longest pedestrian/bicycle bridge in North America that was built for that specific purpose (about 5 miles from my house). It's known as the Big Dam Bridge and it's built over the Murray Lock and Dam (hence its name), and is 4226 feet long, much longer that our tallest "mountain" is high.

...ugh... you can keep the Hogs (Arkansas Razorbacks). I don't want them.

Believe it or not... One of the Largest diamonds ever found in the world was found here in Northern Colorado west of Virgina Dale not far from the Wyoming Border. There is a huge diamond mine there.

Snow... yes the mountains are at 245% of snow pack and MORE expected this weekend. "Grumbles" as Toki and I WHERE to go camping.

And mountains we have 54 14,000+ ft peaks in the state. We go from lowlands of just about 4000 ft to over 14000 in about 200 miles. Even out low lands are higher than most other states high points

[Merlin the Elder]

I so want to move there, Lady de Laney!  Your lowlands are 1300+ feet higher than our highest point. I was in the Sierras a few years back for Christmas...in the snow...and didn't want to leave. The year before, we were at Mt Washington (NH) for Christmas...some snow, 15°F...hiking...awesome!

Wanna swap?

I'm glad I'm not the only one with snow in the forecast. I have sorta real mountains here - the local mountain that everyone hikes on is only about 5000ft. And I don't think I've seen one much over 10,000 ft. But it's kinda nice to have mountains on all four sides of you....even if it does screw up my sense of direction.

Not a chance MtE. I am a rare native of Colorado and this is my home. I had an aunt that lived in Arkansas and an ex-in-law that lived as close as you can get to Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma i.e Ft Scott, Kansas) and I HATED it there.

Toki grew up in Corpus Cristi and he would never go there either. I can hike and not worry about chiggers or ticks and I play see for a very long ways. Nope not a chance. But your welcome to move here. We don't have as many huge tornado's and in some area's we have none.

When I lived in Massachusetts it was very difficult to keep a straight face when the locals talked up their highest peak, which is right around 1500 feet. Of course, they also thought that Colorado is a winter wonderland (the entire state) year round, so what do they know.
