Uh oh.
A former cow-orker was just by the office to show off her new hobby -- needle felting little animals. She picked it up from another cow-orker and went mad with it and now she's made these incredibly cool bunnies -- and bodyless bunny trophy heads -- with glowing red glass eyes and lovingly sculpted features, and little flashes of pink in the ears. They are amazing. I wish I had made her stop and let me take a picture.
I was, of course, aware of the existence of needle felting, but none of the exemplars I had seen previously had set off my Must Make That endocrine overload response. But these. Oh, these wry little bunnies, with their vaguely ironic bunny grins and their cutting-edge cartoony bunny builds and the whole idea of having a felted bunny trophy head on the wall. Gah! I am now a giant, crazed and slavering bundle of barely-contained Hobby Lust.
It doesn't help that the store what sells the felting kits and books and rovings is just a short stroll from work and I'm going to have time to kill after work anyway. Must. Resist. Hobbylust. Must. Resist.
