Group gathers to make mushrooms

A group gathered at the Hubbard Center Jan. 24 to create mushrooms... needle felting mushrooms. It’s the art of sculpting polypay wool by repeatedly stabbing the wool with a barbed needle.  Per its instructor Erin Ehlert Maddocks , “it’s very therapeutic.” The stabbing sculpts the wool with the needle angled at 90, 45 and flat angles depending on the stage of the process. Pictured above, Elizabeth Montemayor gauges an amount of wool to be used as the mushroom’s stem. See more on page 5 of this week's edition. Photo by Mary Langenfeld.
