Ooak needle felted Rocking reindeer

I have always loved rocking horses and this is how this needle felted rocking reindeer was created! I also put a red nose on him due to it being nearly Christmas and all haha. He stands at about 2 and a half inches and he rocks literally like a rocking horse, I created him out of alpaca fiber as I find it stronger.

Sail the high seas!

This is a cute little waldorf inspired ship, I'd seen one somewhere online and I wanted one for myself basically lol so here it is. Come sail with me, we'll have fish for tea says the captain.

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.

plush monkey and lions!

Just doing a catch up post I created this cute monkey a wee while ago and same with the pair to the first lion I created. The lion finger puppets are made by wet felting and needle felting and the monkey is needle felted. I hope you guys like them.

StringyBark festival and awards

wow I just can't believe it I entered the Stringybark festival and it was right at the last minute because my sewing teacher convinced me I should. It was the last night I had time to enter it and I only had these three items to show and tell in sewing and so I entered them. I placed second in bear category, second in hand made toy category and third in hand made toy category. There were over three hundred entrants so I'm just so happy I placed at all because there were so many more professional entrants than mine I thought. I entered mine in the intermediate section and was so excited when I picked them up again this evening. I sadly didn't have time over the weekend to go to the festival but it was still nice to have my work as an exhibit over the time.

Halloween mouse
