Needle Felting on Roving Ideas *pic heavy*

After looking at the dread some more I have to say I really do like the idea of needle felting a faux dread bead on there. I wish I could see her loop more though, looks rather large. Anyone know if she is a member on here?

Not that I know of, but then again I've never really asked. She seems to have natural dreads--maybe she's on one of those boards?

Wow, I love that green vine too!

I also like how the needle-felting puts a slight groove in the dread.
Really boosts the design.

Allright I apologize for so many images but I wanted to show the whole thing....
My version of the afore mentioned dread.....This one is dedicated to you Vixen, hehe.

Its not so busy, and I like it longer and sleeker myself but its all a matter of taste.

Hope you like it!

I love all these vines and flowers i see popping up here.
When i went to Strawberry fair I saw some actual felted flowers and these are all very similar, they look amazing, but very time consuming... worth the effort though!!!

You know what it reminds me of--old Greek/Roman columns at the temples. Beautiful and classy, awesome job

LOVE it. Much better than the linked picture, your version looks so much more streamlined!

Seriously thank you so much for the comments. I agree it is a more simple classic look.

Sweeee!!!

Needle felting is SO much fun!

The idea of felting on patterns on dreadies always crossed my mind, but I prefer my roving dreads to be very unfelted and large, so i think it would be harder to needle felt patterns on.

wow so many neat roving idea's. like how thw camo came out but it will take hours on one dread!

Stilldawn · Post by **Stilldawn** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 1:52 pm

Yes it would take a long time but I think with the right set one or two would look really cool. Also I really like Vixens idea of a white dread with the black vines aswell.

Stilldawn · Post by **Stilldawn** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 12:48 pm

allright people, I think I am going to be making some woolies for a street performer I met this weekend, sometime next month. I need some ideas for small simple "dread tattoo's" for a guy. He likes the camo, and the mushroom but I was trying to think up other little eye catchers... any help?

VixenSingsBlack · Post by **VixenSingsBlack** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 1:12 pm

Well, you could felt the simpler alchemic symbols, or even heiroglyphs--depending upon what kind of guy he is. Also, small tribal things would be cool; check out some Native American websites for inspiration.

Oooh!! An semi-related idea--wouldn't it be cool to we made "totem dreads"?

Stilldawn · Post by **Stilldawn** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 1:14 pm

Totem dreads would be awesome, I know lots of people that would dig that. But would take a more artistic hand than mine. I would love to see it though. I love your ideas and Runes would be awesome too. Especially ones directed towards good omens. I knew you would have something for me Vixen, thanks!

@ Stilldawn
I really love those vines! Great work with the flowers too.

Squidgy · Post by **Squidgy** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 2:08 pm

Love the work you are all doing on here, but I do have tyo agree... the etsy thread with the girl selling the dreads is amazing but the prices are a bit much really!!
