TBAI 2010

Thought I would post a picture of my challenge piece for TBAI. The theme is Children's Classic Novels.  I picked Treasure Island as my subject.  I features an 11 inch Long John Silver. He is made out of tan, blue, brown & black  mohair. Has a red silk scarf and sash, and is leaning on a wooden crutch. He is wearing a black felt hat and has a multi-color needle felted parrot on his shoulder.  He is accompanied by a 6 inch Jim Hawkins who is mad out of tan, red & black mohair.  Jim is carrying a needle felted Skull & Cross Bones flag. They are overlooking a treasure chest that opens to reveal a treasure of gold coins. Everything is standing on a base that is scattered with sand, shells and even a needle felted skull.

More than just mohair

I know a few of my friends have been after me saying I haven't been blogging enough.  I just haven't been able to get a way from my needle felting.  These are a  few of my  larger projects that have been keeping me busy. They are from 6 inches to 9 inches tall and all have porcelain dolls that I have needle felted around. They range in price from $150.00 to $225.00. 

Felting Fever

I have had felting fever.  I started out trying to reproduce the spun cotton ornaments my mom gave me & they have exploded.  They are so fun to make! I can't stop myself. I took pictures of a few.

Bear Bones featured on Skull A Day

Bear Bones, one of my Haloweenies was featured on Skull-A-Day today.  I am thrilled. This is a blog I have been following for a while now. The blogger featured a skull everyday for a year & it has grown since then.  To see Bear Bones follow this link: http://skulladay.blogspot.com/2010/02/skully-bear.html

A Golly Is A Teddy Bear's Best Friend

I actually finished this golly before Christmas but didn't post his picture until now. He is one of my Halloweenies,  a bear dressed up like a Golly. He is11 inches tall & made from tan sparse mohair. His outfit  is needlefelted directly on to the mohair and is done in tones of green, teal & blue accented with green glass bead buttons. He has blue glass eyes.



Bears dressed up for Halloween,
In costumes sweet or horrible,
Freaky, cute, or in between,
They're really just adorable!

Willie Nillie

This is Willie Nillie a nine inch tall bear. He is made from scruffy multi-tan toned mohair and hand-dyed orange woolfelt. He has black glass eyes that are backed with orange woolfelt. He has tan woolfelt pawpads. His nose is needlfelted out of hand-dyed orange roving. He is wearing a colorful purle vest that is accented with orange blanket stitch. His matching hat has an orange elastic chinstrap to help him keep it on. All of his clothes are removable, but he told me he feels rather silly without them. He has the smallest jinglebutt I have ever done!

I finished him just before going to the Chicagoland Show and on my way there he told me that I had his name all wrong. For some reason I thought his name was Merlin, but he set me straight, his name is Willie Nillie. He is $165.00.

Clarion 2010

I am signed up for the show in 2010 in Clarion. This is a very special show because it only takes place every 5 years. One of the things that they request at Clarion is that you send in a piece for auction based on a theme. The theme for 2010 is Holiday. I picked Halloween (go figure) for my Holiday and designed a new kitty. Her name is Boo Boo Kitty. She is 10 inches tall & is mounted on a heart shaped base. She is made from short, sparse, black mohair and hand dyed orange with black fleck long mohair. She has orange woolfelt accents & paw pads She has emerald green glass cats eyes and a sweet stitched face with just a little bit of a Cheshire grin. Her long corkscrew tail peeks out from a black polka dot netting skirt and she is sporting a vintage gold tinsel boa. She has a bat shaped balloon companion who is made out of black sparse mohair and vintage orange synthetic fabric with woolfelt ears & accents. This little guy has wired bat wings for posing. They both have white horsehair whiskers.

Meet Haystack

Autumn is soon approaching, and Haystack is sporting all Fall colors. Haystack is 18 inches tall and is made from Short black mohair, long mohair that I dyed to a rich golden orange. She has orange woolfelt paw pads. She has large amber eyes that are accented with white orange and sparkly black. She has an orange stitched nose & mouth.

She also has a seven tone jingle-butt.

She is $375.00
