Needle Felted Grey Bunny


I couldn't leave my first needle felted bunny without a companion so here is Oscar a little grey bunny and companion to Rosie, I think you can see that they have become firm buddies.



Isn't he gorgeous? I think Rosie loves him.


He's a real sweetie, I made him more fluffy than Rosie using more Merino fine wool.

I start with using Carded wool for all of my figures as it builds the shapes quickly, the refined and coloured parts are a more refined wool.

Baby Bunny Needle Felting


Still learning the needle felting and I think I've fell in love with this sleeping baby bunny one.
Adorable.


I've trid to capture him from different angles so that you can see how cute he is.




I have added a video below just to try and show how tactile he is.


I have been studying other needle felters work and found this and fell immediately in love


I'd love your comments on this one and I may need to do another in a different colour so that he doesn't get lonely.

Needle Felting Fairy and Baby


There's nothing more special than a new baby so this Needle Felting mother and baby would make a lovely gift.


A baby wrapped in swaddling, a flower to the mothers hair, cute.


With lock down in the UK these little darling are keeping me sane, I am getting loads better at not stabbing my fingers too haha!



I hope everyone is keeping safe and well xxx

Needle Felting Edwardian Lady

I was itching to try my hand at a free standing needle felt figure, to be honest I didn't really know what I was going to make when I started this.
She took loads of carded course core wool to to make her body but I think the end result was worth it.


I love everything about her, I made her a coat and matching hat, then added tiny roses and leave to decorate.

I gave her an up-do hairstyle fitting for the outfit.



I also thought a hand muff would finish her perfectly.
I'm really rather pleased how she turned out all 6 inches of her.

Needle Felting Fairy Amy Felthouse

Maybe I'm going a little housebound crazy but this little fairy totally reminded me of Amy Winehouse, I sang her songs all the way through giving her the hairstyle.


I love the rich colours on this one and thankfully when needle felting now I hardly ever need a band aid for my fingers (yay).



I now have quite a collection of these fairies so may need to do a give away once it's safe to go out.
How is everyone else entertaining yourselves? Have you learnt a new craft?
