There’s a growing trend for felting and felted jewelry right now.  As a fiber artist in addition to being a jewelry artist-it makes me happy.
Felted jewelry is so tactile and all ‘warm & fuzzy’. You can make it by cutting shapes out of felt sheets, or getting wool roving and needle or wetfelting it. Or a combination of all 3 techniques. A good way to get started is with simple beads. A great tutorial for felted beads is here.
 Felted jewelry artists like Carol Cypher, Leslie Yang of Feisty Elle, Gail Crosman Moore and Nifer Fahrion of Nif Naks  offer lots of visual eye candy and inspiration. Kits & supplies can be found at many local craft stores now as well as online.
