Bumble bee teargnome





This is a little tear gnome I made for my Great Aunt who's turning 80 next week, he's a bumble bee themed Tear gnome and the tear is obviously in its tear drop shape. I wet felted the little bumble bee mat its sitting on. I hope she likes it. He's needle felted in merino roving.

Dubbo the christmas bear

Going To

Getting Ready

Being Santa climbing the chimney

Resting





This is Santa bear I made him from merino roving and his clothing is from commercial felt and needle felted trim of alpaca roving. He's able to be posed and I took these story photos of him so I hope you like him. He's the first critter I've done using bear eyes instead of felted eyes.

Love will make you write silly things!

another shot of inspiration for writing wewt lol

dunno if its any good but still have to work on it

It was inspired as my oh and I had an argument this weekend and we did make up
but it was just a silly argument where I'm being hormonal and tense (pms issues) and he's just being him.

we let it fester
took it down brick by brick
and then hurled them at each other
its a thing called love

something untimely
that makes you feel ungainly
and then you fall to the ground
its a thing called love

whether its romantic
whether your a cynic
it'll catch you and makes you feel quite sick
its a thing called love

as time goes by
you forget to say hi or bye
you know they'll still be there
its a thing called love

Raccoon



meet Raccoon he's a cheeky guy and flat felted not my usual 3d felted things so he's a little different as I have a potential idea brewing but I wont share it just yet until I think it out more. But he's made from natural shades of alpaca wool as well as commercially dyed merino roving. Sadly we don't have these in Australia but I very much wish we did I think their adorable.

Grubbie the grub worm

What the heck is this you ask? This is Grubbie... he's a garden grub who's eaten too much and looks sleepy. His face is needle felted and his body is wet felted over a resist and then stuffed. I needle felted his rings over him to give him a more bubble like shape.

I used merino wool for him but the colored purple/blue wool for his body took AGES to felt so I think it must have been that super fine merino I've heard about cause it really did take ages. I had to roll and roll and to make sure it was well felted I chucked it in the washing machine. He actually reminds me of a toy I used to have as a kid called a glow worm.

Blue Bear!




This is a little needle felted bear I created a couple of days ago ^^ been feeling cute and cuddly with my inspiration so I created Blue. I called him blue cause he's red and us Aussies like to joke about "rangers" aka Red heads or people with red hair lol are called blue. I have no idea why its just what it is! anyways he's about 12cm high and is made from merino wool that I died myself.
