This is what I was using as my reference for a sand crab I was creating:

and this is my version:

I think she turned out pretty well. I was trying to figure out how to make hollow legs so I tried wrapping wool around 4 straws and rolled it until it started to shrink, then around 2 straws and then around 1 and finally rolling the legs on themselves and it worked a treat.  I am pleased with this little gal.

I made a bug that must be shy or something as I could not get a good picture so please excuse the crappy picture but it gives you an idea about the bug, it is next to some brain coral.

I used the straw method to make his legs as well and then pinned them while they were drying so it looks like he has feet.

This is a picture of the final brain coral I made dried and stuffed:

They are just so much fun to make and to look at.

It was a lovely sunny day and I went for a walk beside the river.  There is a good path and I often see folks out walking along it. I walked toward town, there were a number of ducks and geese in the river, I watched the current moving some ducks downstream pretty fast. This is a tidal river so when the tide comes in you see the birds floating the other direction.  It was the nicest day we have had since arriving so I sat outside on a park bench and read my book for a while, a lovely way to spend part of Sunday afternoon.

Nothing more from the felting room today, Monday tomorrow so I will have to get cracking on some new projects, stay tuned.
