Meet TJ

Here's a whippet I just finished.

His name is TJ.

Tj is needle felted using a few different types of wool, Dorset, Norwegian(black) and Romeny.

He sits about 5 1/4 inches high and sport a beaded collar.

He also sits on a needle felted mat.

The beaded collar is made using delica beads, fireline thread and the peyote stitch.

This is Tj with is cohort Maribella.

Thanks for looking

Patience, I hope you like it.

Wow. It's been two weeks

since I've posted anything. Well, all I've been doing is beading. I've made a few more pairs of earrings. But, how many of those can I post. The weather had been really nice lately, like lots of sun for a change. I've been watching my old whippet get older, but he still gets around pretty good. I don't have anynew pics of him. I posted this one even though it's a few months old. That's one of his buddies Nearly in the background.

A few beaded head pins and a needle felted head pin

A tribute

So I've been beading these whippet/greyhound earrings.

I usually watch tv when I bead.

Well there I am beading and watching tv and I look over at my sweet 14.5 year old whippet Skeeix.

Then it hits me. I must do a tribute to that beautful old face.

You know the one where the color starts to fade and go white around their eyes.

So here are a couple of pairs of earring saluting all those beautful old whippet/greyhounds faces.
Thank you Skeezix.

Wonkey ear'd whippets.

Meet Maribella.

One of my favorite things about whippets is when their ears are all askew.

She is needle felted in a very doggy pose.

Maribella measures a mere 5.5 inches long.

She wears a very girly girl beaded(by me of course) collar.

She is completedly needle felted from 100% wool and has onyx bead eyes.

Her coloring is red fawn highlights using Copic markers.

Maribelle is available for purchase in my etsy shop
