Fuzzy

[squirmelia]

If I think about Fuzzy Felt, I imagine pale-coloured felt shapes arranged into musty farmyard scenes. I also think of jumble sales, cardboard boxes held together with sellotape, and felt that has been played with until it has been left soft and threadbare.

I recently noticed the Fuzzy Felt greeting cards in high street shops, found Fuzzy Felt patterned with Teletubbies available on eBay, and even glanced at the pictures of cute computer shaped felts used when understanding the programming patterns of domestic appliances. The ideas on Halfbakery are best though - fuzzy felt bell-bottoms, fuzzy felt wallpaper and even fuzzy felt sex.

I had rarely thought of those little bits of material for years, but a few weeks ago, in the Foundry, I joined the londongothsluts for a few drinks and found myself staring at Hot Fuzz: An Exhibition of Fuzzy Abstraction on the wall. Perhaps I should just stick to staring at carpets in future..

(Oh, the day after that, I did see Hot Fuzz at the cinema.)

You want a felt bottom?

I had one of those on the underground this morning. I think it was accidental.

my sister bought me a farmyard scene fuzzy felt card. i found it really exciting, especially as i had never known what fuzzy felt was, before.

Definitely more exciting than real farmyards. :)

What kind of Fuzzy Felt did you have? :)

Rabbits and trees and squirrels sound cool! I don't think I had that much of it, but my memories are quite vague. Perhaps I should ask my mum. Hmm.
