I have hand dyed and aged the felted mohair to make Ginger -He has antique boot eyes and a sparse embroidered nose-pure silk aged outfit with rusty bells -I had to make two of him as a friend whipped the first away before he was almost finished -This is his twin and is on bearpile now.

I love her little dress -really suits her. :hug:
Hi Anna -yes I roughly stitched needlefelted balls and shapes directly onto the mohair and worked on from there.
Thanks everyone else for the nice comments.
Bootifull!!!!!
I have been trying a new craft for me which is needlefelting -Apart from having holes in my fingers and lots of broken needles I have really enjoyed making my little elf who I have named Elvin!
His body is mohair and I have needlefelted his face from a flat piece of mohair and added bits of the wool to form his cheeky face shape -It took about 3 days of sore fingers to get his face shape and to get his features very hard .Then I had each paw pad to do!!! I have made and decorated his coat and hat in felt with some detailed machine embroidery.He has rusty bells and beautiful transparent wings.
I am reluctant to sell him but can't keep them all so have put him up for adoption on bearpile.
What a sweet baby -I adore pandas-beautiful !!!!
Lovely colour combinations and as usual a beautiful nose! xxxxx

Love this one -the face is very appealing to me.Lovely :hug: :hug: :hug:
She is wonderful Isa -love the colour and ageing. Jo xx
This is little hot chilli Pepper who has a cheeky smiley porcelain face with set in dolls eyes.
I have hand dyed the fur to a blood red colour - really gorgeous colour!I have also matched his needle sculpted cashmere paws to this lovely colour!
Chilli has a hand made felt chilli shaped hat that is removable and he wears a porcelain name tag around his neck.
hope he warms you up !!!!!
