I am so far behind. I have yet to post about one of my creations for Philly which was in May!  The challenge was for all the doll artists to make a bear and for all the bear artists to make a doll. I have had this idea in my head for a long, long time and have not had the time or excuse to make her.  Meet Lotta Mehem. She is needlefelted over an armature. She is fully poseable. Everything from her hands to her toes will bend. Her head is moveable. She is natural tea dyed mohair with glass eyes. Her dress is tea dyed tattered cotton.

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.
