avaf2.JPGavaf1.JPGavaf.JPGI just listed Nellie on ebay last night.  She was inspired by a favorite song by the "Toy Dolls".  In the song Nellie packs her trunk and runs away from the circus. I have my Nellie headed back to Africa.  She's needle felted from Corriedale and Baby llama wool.  I also made her a circus ball. It's felted around a hollow gourd and has jingle bells inside.
