Becky Margraf Explores Felt Faces in a Delightful 100 Day Project

Felt Face by Becky Margraf

I’m envi­ous of those who com­plete 100 day (or longer) projects. Stick­ing with some­thing for more than a week is both impres­sive and pro­vides a valu­able oppor­tu­ni­ty to real­ly explore a theme—to pick it apart, bit by bit, and take it to weird and won­der­ful places. For 76 days (and count­ing!), craft dab­bler and mon­ster enthu­si­ast Becky Mar­graf has cre­at­ed tiny faces out of of felt. Apt­ly-called Felt Faces, she pro­duces a dai­ly por­trait that’s sim­i­lar yet dif­fer­ent; each fol­lows the same square por­trait for­mat and is affixed with the same beady eyes.

Through­out the two-plus months she’s embarked on this project, Becky has cre­at­ed a vari­ety of char­ac­ters. Some are fuzzy, oth­ers scat­tered, and one is a win­dow. Each has its own charms and fits neat­ly into the palm of your hand. Once Felt Faces is com­plete, Becky will sell them through her Etsy shop. But for now, enjoy see­ing them on her Insta­gram!
