ducky.jpgbreck-033.jpgI actually have several Easter critters.  I am working on things for a show in 2 weeks.  Thank you Judi for bringing this challenge to my attention.  I have been so busy that I haven't paid attention to all that's going on.

Here are a couple of my Easter babies.  The first is 2 needle felted minis.  They are just under 2" tall.  (Photos need improvement).  The second is Pato the little duckling.  He is just about life size.  If you have ever held a baby duck in your hand, that is about how big he is.  He is made of mohair with felted bill and felt feet.

Krista,  your puppy is so cute (but that's not anything new, all of your pups are precious).
Sue Ann,  I just can't get my eyes off of that bunny.
Catherine,  I love that little bear.  The colors are adorable.

Well once I started Judi, I couldn't stop ... this is Bonnie Bonnet pronounced BON-AY, (as in Hyacinth Bucket being pronounced BOUQUET  :crackup: ) in her beautiful Easter bonnet. Hope you think she's Easter-ish enough.

P.S. Lynne I love your bunny, he's just quirky enough to suit me to a T!  bear_thumb

Hi! Lynne Yes I did,  He was one of my semi stuffed open bears in synthetic curly mohair, then I did not know mohair for bears existed,this was years ago, bear_grin would you like to see him?  I will post a picture when I find it,I know its somewhere in all the pictures.
He wasn't fat he was just skinney. I did not stuffed the torso part,but i did stuff the sides and back of it. The most that took in stuffing was the large head,very very long ears and legs and feet. I did not mind,since I was anxious to see how he was going to look like.
The Guy in the photo place wanted to display him in the store to attract customers for Easter and I let him.
I used him once for easter,putting plastic eggs inside and we would tie a hankerchief on the childrens eyes so they would not see which egg they were going to choose as a prize,some eggs had money and others had candies. We had fun :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Lynne, Your Easter bear is lovely.  She has the sweetest expression and I love her hat.

Mary, yours also is  darling.  I really like how you have used colored mohair to compliment her outfit.  Very Eater-ish! :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Judi your bunny and bear are just so....beautiful. bear_wub You are sure aritistic in designing them  bear_thumb  bear_thumb  bear_thumb bear_wub
   I just love how you needle felt their expressions. They are sure to go to a loving home for sure.
Thank You for your comment on my bear. I didn't want to make a whole dress,cause I wanted her fur to show. I really enjoy getting the bears dressed,but its really hard to decide what they are to wear. I think it takes me more time deciding than in making them. :crackup:  :hug:  :hug:
