Big head Westie dog

My mum was asking me what the difference between a Scottie dog and a Weastie was
Well the easiest way I could think of to explain was to make one of each

and for some reason I decided they wanted to have big heads :)

When will we three

The alpaca teddy animals all together

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
