Alice in Wonderland Rabbit
I just finished my needle felted rabbit. I tried to model him after the white rabbit in the movie Alice In Wonderland, and I think he's close, but not exactly the same. But when I made him, I had'nt seen the movie yet. We went and saw it yesterday, and I liked it a lot, there are a lot of cool animals that would be fun to needlefelt, but they all take so much time!! Anyway we liked the movie, and here is my Rabbit.
Needle Felted Bunny
I was working on a new fairy, but I didn't like the look of her face, I need to try some other things, to make her look better. Faries are so hard to do. So, in the meantime, I made a little bunny, and it was much more fun to do. He has a yellow hoodie, and blue pants, and I made a little basket to carry his easter eggs.
Needle Felted Lion
I just made a needle felted lion. I'm really getting into needle felting, it is so much fun. And it is easy if you have a lot of patience. I started out making a cat, but it wouldn't be a cat, so I went ahead and made it into a lion, which I really like a lot.
Fairy
I finished my needle felted fairy. It was VERY hard to do. Fairy faces are hard to do, and I wanted it to look pretty. Fairy bodies are hard, I wanted it to look feminine. Fairy clothes are hard to do, and fairy wings are hard to do too!! It also took a lot of felting, and a lot to poking myself, and a lot of trying different things. But, all in all, I'm very pleased, I like her a lot! I cant' wait to start my next one!!
She is also made with a wire frame and is very poseable.

Needle Felted Bulldog
This is my needle felted Bulldog I'm really happy with the way he came out. He was a lot of fun to do. Bulldogs have so much personality in their faces. He is built around a wire frame and can be gently posed. He is wearing a chain. His eyes are gemstone beads, and his nose is sculpted by me out of clay. Needle felting takes lots of patience, and lots of poking the wool with a needle. I poke myself all the time, but I'm getting better at saying "ouch!!
Needle Felted Yorkshire Terrier
I should'nt have left my needle felted bunny laying around where my dog Lucy could get at him, because she thought I made it just for her!! But I didn't. She has a great big basket of toys all her own. I guess it's not enough, she wants more. Or maybe she thought I wasn't doing it right, and she was going to show me how. All I have to say is, Lucy is a lot faster than me, she did this in less than a minute!
Here she is looking very satisfied.
And I have been working on a Yorkshire Terrier all weekend, but I'm not really that happy with the way it looks. Plus it took forever to put on all that fur. I still need more practice. Next time I'll make a dog with not as much fur.

Needle Felted Boston Terrier
I just finished my Needle Felted Boston Terrier. It was a lot of work. It really takes a lot of time to needle felt. At first I was very excited about the craft, but I can see now that it will be a lot of time and practice. I can only imagine how hard it will be to make a face or arms and legs. I want to make a fairy soon, or TRY to make a fairy. At least the supplies don't cost very much.
The Boston Terrier was kind of hard to get the body shape right, maybe dogs with hair are easier, but anyway Boston Terriers have a lot of muscles, and they take a lot of shaping. Here it is.

Needle Felted West Highland White Terrier
I made my first Westie with wool by needle felting it. I love the way it looks. Just the way I wanted it to look, I can't get over how long it takes to make it tho. Adding the fur is really hard, it took the longest, and now I think I know how to do it better, and that is to not put too much fur on, without trimming it up as you work. But I'm real happy with it, and I've already started making a Boston Terrier.
Shaping the body is hard too, but I learned that you don't have to shape as much, if you're adding a lot of fur. The face took a long time too, and I made it separately because I had to turn it so much and look at it from all sides. Well, here it is.
The actual needle felting is pretty easy, you just get some wool, and poke it with a needle until it sticks to itself. The needles are real sharp, and have little barbs on them, and they grab the wool, and that is what makes it form together. I know how sharp the needles are. Ouch!! You have to be real careful doing it.

Needle Felted Irish Terrier
I made my first needle felted dog. It took a long time to do, lots of needling, lots of adding wool, and a lot of poking my fingers. I think the head is too big, and I need a lot of practice with adding fur, but I'm happy with the way it turned out for my first one. I'll keep trying to get better. I admire the ones I see on Etsy, and other sites, I sure would like to make one as good as those!
Needle Felted Bear
I made a little needel felted bear, I didn't have much choice of colors, because I just bought the starter kit, but I liked doing it, I think I'm getting the hang of it a little better. The actual felting is very hard to to, for me anyway, I'm trying to shape and felt as I go along. I can't wait to order more felt in better colors. Here's my bear.
