This little one will be going on ebay later today but I thought I would post her in the mini's to see what you think of her toes - which I have needle felted.
Her eyes too I have experimented with by using the techniques suggested on TT for the eyelids -thank you everyone for the tips and advice :clap:
Her Name is Manya and she is 3.5" sitting

Thats some small needlefelting, it looks way bigger. I bet your own fingers have got holes in them. Well done!

Thankyou Sue Ann, Amanda, Kim,
Amanda I only pricked my fingers twice but I also broke two felting needles bear_cry
Kim - I used a fine leather cord that I got from an art store locally - I tried thread on a bunny I am working on but felt the impact was small so I tried this
I am ever so glad you like her bear_original
