Didn't pull out. Downhill from there. -- Roger Daubach

    That's a very wonderful felted hat in the blue-gray.

    I've wondered about felting for art dolls but haven't gotten into it so far due to the expense issue...so far anyway. I did jump sites and arrive at the enchanted gypsy etsy shop though. Marvelous stuff.
