A monster purse

This technique is fuelled by something I have seen on the web and Bren taught me how to make little sockets using a pebble. The top bit wasn't going anywhere so I snipped it a bit and then felted a bit more and it made these curled in spiky bits which was a vast improvement. The original looked like a fish and then a mermaid's tail and has improved since then. I hadn't figured out a closure, nor had I decided quite how far down I wanted the top to come but Christmas was coming so I needlefelted the eye and wrapped it up for Janine
