Its raining cats and dogs



It's raining cats and dogs here at Indiebunnie lol I had to try three times to make a cat I was happy with. It's my first sale through my fiancee's mother as she put me onto a friend of her's who is a cat lover and has three cats of her own I believe. The first one I did I didn't like the color, that's the one hidden with the orange stripes tabby looking thing. Then was the standing gray kitten and it is cute but it wasn't realistic enough and the one I am happy with is the one in the front, its made from undyed alpaca blend and it seems that if you want a realistic looking color the natural ones seem to work best.

This dog here was actually starting out as a bear but I wanted him to be different, I was also running out of the fakland wool I was using so I had to mix it up a little lol I think he turned out quite cute.

Needle felted bear






This is a needle felted bear I've created I got the book Needle felting magic making beautiful bears the other day by Barbara Allen. It's more the size of a booklet only 50 something pages I believe. But its very informative with excellent photos and charming bears that will inspire you to follow the instructions. I made my first thread jointed bear and here she is. Buttons are for decoration purposes as I have seen similar looks with jointed bears. I think she's come out quite cute though I haven't named her yet. She is needle felted in merino wool roving and is fully jointed, even her head moves.
