I just listed this little one on eBay last night. Her teapot was a lot of fun to do. It's hollow and 9 1/2 inches from the spout to the handle. I first felted it out of white corriedale wool. Then I boilded it in blue Kool-Aid. When it had completely dried I detailed it with roses from Merino wool. I also made her little teabag out some interfacing that was stuffed with brown wool. Her sugar cubes are also needle felted and covered with clear and white glitter. Little Dora is 3 1/2 inches long and was needle felted from baby llama, Merino and Corriedale wool. Her whiskers are horse hair.

What a beautiful piece of work. Your talents at needle felting are top-notch, mastery. You capture the smallest details, and do not overlook anything. I am a fan

Dora's reserve wasn't met. So I relisted her with the reserve as the starting bid. Her new url is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi … 0372700368
