I am not committed to these farm animals. Though growing up in the fifties, it was not unusal to see chickens in New Orleans…Horses were in more rural places…so I may not include the horse…I just laid them there as I was felting the grass. They all have fusible web on the back just in case…

Preparation for the grass

I cound not find my bo-nash at first…so I snipped pieces of stitch witchery down to help hold the yarn in place.

I finally did locate my bo-nash, but discovered i did not need either. The yarn was clinging to the background fabric. If I worked in small sections at a time, I would be fine.

I placed the shanty down again so I would know where not to place yarn.

The felting is a breeze. I tried to work in a circular motion.

The grass will be complete in no time at all. As indicated in the next photo, I need to punch the yarn down a lot more to insure it is totally embedded into the background felt.
