New Felt for Fall

I tried blending some needle felting with some lovely old woolen fabrics to create this pumpkin lady and her baby.

She is wired for 'poseability'.

She still needs a little tidying up, but should be done and ready for sale by tonight.

Until next time, happy felting!

SOLD! Hooray!

These were part of my Halloween line this year.

I tried to put a modern twist on retro ideas.

I am so happy that they were well received!

I am grinning from ear to ear.

It is so hard to predict what other people will like. I am glad I made something that made me happy; it turns out that these made other people happy as well. Good fortune!

It doesn't get much better than that!

Thanks for popping in!

Until next time, happy muse embracing!

Frida Almost Done

but not quite.

This Frida Kahlo doll was made from spun cotton over wire. She has a muslin face, a mohair wig, antique milliners flowers in her hair, and hand sewn clothes.

She still needs her spun cotton heart attached to the outside of her body so she can hold it.

She still needs some work to clean up loose threads and to tidy up/finish her shawl.

She still needs some refining of her basic features.

I just posted her now because I was afraid that, if I didn't, I would not post her at all.

She was a bit outside of my normal comfort zone.

A little anxiety can be a good thing, right? RIGHT??

Until next time, here's to trying new things and being brave enough to post them!

YOU know what happens..

...when bunnies are left alone...

they make MORE bunnies!

I wouldn't normally use a non-traditional color to make a bunny, but I just had the feeling that someone out there would want this. I wonder who?

This is my husband's favorite one. He has a very realistic "rabbit" sort of look to him.

I liked the combination of wools on this one. He has a bit of Dorset and some Merino.

Very different texures working together.

Thanks for popping in!

Until next time, watch those bunnies!

Better Than Santa...

..because he flies under his own power! No reindeer needed!

I mean, really! How did you think he managed to get all of those chocolate eggs delivered?

OOAK Easter bunny, needle felted by me. I used a fawn colored Dorset wool, embroidery floss, and some glass beads on this one.

He will be for sale tomorrow on my etsy site, http://www.sycamoremoonstudios.etsy.com/

Hope everyone is starting to see some signs of Spring!

Until next time, happy hopping! Or flying. Whichever applies best to your particular situation.
