Alpaca Teddy leopard.

The final of the three

any idea for names?

Alpaca teddy lion

2nd in the series - a lion with a silky soft alpaca mane

Alpaca Teddy tiger

Using the lovely Alpaca fleece I found on my summer holidays I have tried a range of artist teady animals
The alpaca makes them silky soft

Dachshund

Trying to felt every breed of dog I possibly can
So any suggestions??

Also trying out photographing in my brand new dollshouse

New listing - PDF instructions!

As I know so many craft people want a try at needle felting I decided to make my own tutorial.

The 1/2 splat bookmarks are actually a great beginners project as they are built from basic shapes and a bookmark can be completed in around two hours.

This listing in my etsy shop is for a 14 page pdf file of step by step instructions and photographs to make one of my bookmarks.

This is something a little new for me :) hopefully it is something people are interested in. I shall also make up some kits at a later date

Alpaca

The alpaca fleece is lovely to felt with, silky almost soapy

Although the girls who donated the fleece to me were shorn when I was them I made my little fuzzy in full coat

To do that I firmly felted a short alpaca then added fleece ontop of that and softly felted it to give him his teddy bear coat, but a 'crust' of fibers needle felted ontop to keep him in shape. He feels lovely to hold, solid in the middle but sooooo soft and fluffy on the outside

Pomeranian

and a little happy pom

Sheltie

another of the long haired ones - a little Sheltie with a ball in his mouth

Monkey!

I have been practicing with longer hair on my fuzzies

So this little fuzzy (who reminds me a little of cuddles the monkey - or I am the only one old enough to remember him) has his lighter brown areas done in the new alpaca fleece and the rest is merino

Say hello to the ladies

Just back from holidays (will blog about it later) and went hunting for some new fibers

Found this stunning location

With these lovely lads and ladies

Are they not the cutest little things?

I have tried alpaca before but I guess it wasnt good quality because the fleece from these guys is totaly lovely

Smooth and silky, soft as anything with an almost soapy feel

and the great news is its also hypoallergenic

already tried felting with it and it is lovely

and mum is knitting socks :)
