There are a few things different about this little piggy. She's the first weighted felty that I've done and her wings are embroidered and hand dyed with koolaid. I really like the way they turned out.
Iris was weighted with steel shot to give her some heft and a real feel. I like the dichotomy between the lightness of her wings and her weight. It speaks to me of the sheer impossibility of a pig's flight. Her delicate antennas are thin beading wire that has been felted with black llama wool and a black onyx bead was attached to the end.
Her reserve price is $145.00 and her Buy it Now price is $224.00. The starting bid is $9.95.

I think I need a flutter piglet in my household!

Joanne, her wings were felted from Corriedale. Then they were boiled in Orange Koolaid. When they dried, I embroidered them and detailed the edges with llama wool. I ironed them to heat set the dye.
I LOVE baby pigs and being a flutter piglet makes her even more special!! Just lovely!!!!
Eat Cake! bears and vintageSo adorable. This inspires me to get my needlefelting bag out again and try to make some butterflies! Maybe a mobile for my granddaughter. So cute.
artbyrjandreaeThanks Kimmi & Barbette!
I'm thinking of trying to nuno felt the next pair of fairy wings I do. Nuno felting is a wet technique that produces a sheer felt. I can't wait to get started. It looks like a lot of fun.
