A splatted Kitty!!

With the rest of the grey and white Nuno felt I decided to splat a cat.

This little cutie has blue eyes and black stripes

I was working on some slightly different photographs here as some people suggested that the flat out bookmark look made my bunny look a little like roadkill!!

So I have tried shooting her in the pages of a book.

I have also been working on a couple of other splats but I have to keep them a seceret for a little while!

A splatted squirrel

An interesting custom request

So far all my fuzzies have gone to animal loving homes. This time a lady asked me if I could do a 1/2 splat squirrel for her dad who hates them

I wasnt sure how well it would work out. I really wanted to do a fluffy tail but as these are designed to be used I had to firmly felt, a fluffy tail just wouldnt keep its shape

I also worked on sculpting the legs some more to show muscle - I always overdo custom orders and make them harder for myself!! :D
This time I nuno felted the body, white on the bottom and grey on the top. I have a little extra left over - so watch this space to see what else I am coming up with!

I hope her dad enjoys splatting squirrels :D

Agility jumping dog and some flowers

I know, no posts about felting for months then two come along at once

I made a custom jumping agility dog just after christmas and I was so surprised and happy at how it turned out that I decided to try another.

I was so worried about how the first one was going to work out and how the dog would look like it was jumping and everything, it took me totaly ages to get it done.

Now, like climbing Everest, this one seemed to be done much easier.

I also decided to use up my scraps of Nuno felt from making the bags and try and make some little felt flowers.

I needled them together with a bit of orange fleece, I think they look quite cheerfull

No idea what I am going to do with them yet - any ideas please let me know

My latest dog

I thought I would put up this little lady

She is a order based on a rescue dog who sadly had to be put to sleep.

She is all wool - no wire or anything, and v firmly felted (those wrinkles took forever)





Hopefully to show how far I have come in just less than a year needle felting




Here is a little dog I made as about my 2nd ever model, and I think he sold on ebay for about £1 - deff learnt a lesson there about minimum bids there




He is so fluffy, but I was dead chuffed with him at the time

He has a pipe cleaner frame - which I bet you can feel poking out his feet, and tiny glass eyes - he is about 2 inches tall







Think the photography has come along a bit too! (well I hope so!)










I also tried something a bit different

Nuno felting - which is wet felting onto fabric
Was a bit easier than I thought (although it really works your upper arms)

Mum had the bright idea of turning the fabric into clutches, purses and phone holders

They were fun to make, going to try them in my shop soon
