wee trees

After seeing the little wool felt tree in a Cotton Time magazine (posted by molly chicken here) sometime this fall, I wanted a little grouping of my own, and actually did finish them before Christmas. I packed them away with my Christmas stuff on Saturday (finally!), but am now thinking they'd still be appropriate for the seasonal table. I included a couple in a needle-felted playset I made for an etsy customer in December.
And...yet another reason everyone needs stacks of perfect little clay bowls: to hold sparkly seed beads.

How did you do the stripes on the tiger? I've tried to get some fine lines and just haven't succeeded with needle felting.

I pull long thin strings of wool, then twist them a bit to hold their shape while I attach, stretching them tight while I pokepokepoke.
