Black Horse

Here is a commissioned horse I finally finished.

Needle felted from Norwegian and Dorset wools.
No patterns are ever used to create my one of a kind needle felted sculptures.

He measures 6.75 inches tall , 8.75 inches long and not quite 2" wide.

Mr Moose in progress

So this is how far I have gotten.

Here is one of the pics I'm working from.

Sorry for not posting and a few items felted by Geri Williams

I apologize for not posting lately but have been a bit under the weather. So I thought I'd post a couple of pin cushions that were needle felted by my friend and business partner Geri Williams.

Geri and I met at a local Teddy Bear Club Meeting in 1993. I had just started making and selling mohair hand made Teddy Bears under the name Bearly Legal Bears. Geri and I became friends and would see each other at local shows and the like. At that time Geri was making alot of bears out of real fur, like coats and stuff. Eventually she moved on to Mohair and and became famous. We both designed bears for QVC. Geri also went on to design for Disney and has done shows in Japan, Germany, England, Australia and New Zeland. Geri has aslo won numerous awards in the Teddy Bear World. Currently Geri teaches classes in Australia, New Zeland and the United States. She is also working on a Needle Felting book for advances needle felters.

Finally finished this BIG Horse

Wow, that was alot of poking, poking and poking. He is finally done and I decided not to work on him anymore.He stands 11" high and is 11" long, man that's alot of poking.

LOL, I've already started on another one. For those of you not familiar with hand needle felting please go to Jan 16th blog to get a better idea. I'm thinking he's not too bad for my first one. Thanks for looking and don't forget to post a comment.

Mack's back and Houdini too!

Hey, we're back!! So, how do we look? Careful what ya say as we've got ears now, hehehe.

We are almost completed. But, we can't go to Canada yet. We are waiting for our sis, Emmy to be finished.

Hi Mom.

Remember the horse

Here's what he looked like a few weeks ago.
And here is what he looks like now.
He will be getting his mane and tail soon.
Next will be the addition of ears, eyes and facial features.

Black Whippet

Of course this whippet is along way from being done. This is the first time I have not used a core wool..This leetle gal is black all the way through. The toughtest part will be the eyes against the black wool. Thanks to Annie of Wild About Whippets for letting me use pics of her beautful black dog Zinfy.
