Remember I told you Deborah had bunnies on the brain. Well here are two of her little fellows for you to enjoy–Mr. Whiskers and Snoozer. Needlefelted with clay eyes and nose, they are a sight to behold. They are up for auction on ebay for the next seven days. Click on the photos to go directly to the auction pages. You can see why needle felting has become our newest addiction. Mr. Whiskers’ jacket is free-form embroidery with felt and various glitzy fibers.
I’ve started creating our auction templates myself because we had a difficult time finding themes that fit our art and personalities. I make the backgrounds and graphics in Paint Shop Pro and put the page together in an html editor. I’m
thinking of offering auction templates for sale. Let me know what you think. I love vintage postcards and I think adding contemporary graphics gives them just the right touch.
Next up on the horizon are some more bunnies, a kitten and a doll based on a pattern by Judy McCullough.
Have a great week!
Laura

Ow, these bunnies are so cute how fragile are they? I know a lady who made a pig for children to play with, with their little people barn.

Hi Karyn . . . They are not fragile in the sense that they would break if dropped; however, because of the clay eyes and nose as well as the wire armature they would not be appropriate for play.
Oh, i fulled my first reclaimed sweater the other day. I lost at least 50% to shrinkage. Without knowing the exact kind of wool it’s difficult to predict the amount of shrinkage. You can control it somewhat by watching the process as it happens and stopping the machine when your happy with the size and texture. Hopefully, I’ll have my tote ready for he next post.
Hey, how do I find your blog?

Hello, thank you for the tip. My blog is http://karynforyou.wordpress.com/ Sometimes my sign in name becomes a link to my blog when I comment so I don’t alway’s put the link in the comment. I am knitting another bag using Sean Sheep, have you used it? I bought it at wall-mart, it is so “raw” that I am pulling out straw! I like that but I am going to be very interested to see how it felts. The yarn is unevenly thick to thick and tightly wound to very loose. Oh, I love felting, it feels like magic!
