Anyhow, here's a link to the pic of the two needle felted bears I've made.
Right now, I feel they're a work in progress and need more done to them. On
one of them you can't see the face very well, so I think I might add some
lighter coloured wool so his/her nose and mouth will show up better.

I can highly recommend this craft as it's barrels of fun, and as Els
mentioned, you don't have to just use wool. Actually, our instructor called
the stuff we used - "roping". I gather it's not as fine as roving - perhaps
it's earlier on in the process. We did get a small piece of white roving
which I used on the eyes, and I think the grey stuff on the chests is
roving, but the main part of the bear is a more coarse product - complete
with tiny bits of straw (grin). As Erica said, it adds to the character of
your bear (smile).

Don't feel bad, I'm not seeing all the posts again either. I'm missing about 20
today so will have to check google to see if I can see any of them. The hard
part of that is if the subject is something mentioned earlier or years ago, you
can't tell.
Now, those two bears are so cute, can't wait to hear more about the needle
felting.
Hugs,

Thanks for the info. Hmmm.... another reason not to d/l SP2. I have heard
of so many problems with it, and besides, I don't need MS's anti-virus, or
spamguard, or the rest of the stuff. I have Norton, Spywareguard and
Ad-Aware, and it all seems to be doing a fine job.

No, it is because AOL is (still) having server problems. Post from AOL are
either not showing up/or very slow across USENET.

I don't use AOL and am having problems with dropped posts. The other day
(Monday??) I got no new posts.
