Needle felted pendant necklace

Just finished these two pieces.  The pendants are needle felted with bead and yarn embellishments.  I also made the wrapped wire endings and clasp on the wet felted cords.  Now I have to decide which piece of wet felt that I made yesterday I'm going to work on next.  They were all fairly small pieces for necklaces or cuff bracelets.  A couple may get cut up and used for brooches, but that remains to be seen.  Rarely do know for sure what a piece will be when I first start it.  These cords of course we're made specifically for the pendants, but my flat pieces I usually wait until they are totally felted, filled and dried before I decide for sure what they will end up looking like.  I prefer working that way.  ALthough I admit I do start with an idea of what it could be.  It just doesn't always turn out that way and I'm very happy with that.  
  Well, It's snowing outside.  Obviously no yard work again.  It's supposed to continue for at least another day.  It's not amounting to much and it's above freezing (just barely), so hopefully it will not accumulate.  Of course, I knowit's only mid March and this is Colroado after all, so I won't complain if it does end up piling up.  I just want to point out that spring begins in jsut a few days!!
