Pink elephants

No I haven't imbibed too much.... this little pink elephant is called Belle and she resides in a pink cocktail glass ( tho' it's plastic!).
Belle is helping me in my break away from mice... she is a 5 inches tall, made from scraggy mohair with Ultrasuede paw pads and inner ears.

Brownie... a respite from mice!

It was a week full of mice... mice in martini glasses munching on olives! So as a respite I pulled out some bear brown roving and made Brownie. Brownie is 6 inches tall from ear tip to sole bottom. He's string jointed and has black onyx bead eyes...
Brownie's arms are bent... the better to hold something, but I don't know what, yet!

HEADING FOR TEXAS...

Lucy is a treasury

Lucy has been stomping grapes ala the "I Love Lucy" episode ! I did it once as a kid and ended up with purple feet forever! Little Lucy is purple all over!
Lucy was snagged for an etsy treasury!

Wiley's been in the martini !

All that is left are the olives! And it looks like he's ready to eat those too!
Wiley was made from alpaca fiber and pink wool roving with horsehair whiskers. ( What am I going to do when I run out of Loretta's horsehair?) This is my first try at felting alpaca ...and it felts differently. But I have loads, so I will have to learn!
ps... Wiley is up on BearPile and etsy.

Wiley is headed for Garland, TX.

Joey's friend Fern

Joey's little friend is called Fern... she a lovely green colored mohair. Fern will keep an eye on this wet felted wool pumpkin pincushion for you!
Fern is 5 inches tall and her pincushion was made from hand-dyed wool that has been wet felted. The leaves are wool felt edged with perle cotton embroidery.
Fern is on etsy .... abd will be on BearPile soon.

needle felted muzzles...

My newest, Kerry, has a needle felted muzzle. If I am truthful, I will tell you my new pattern didn't quite come up to snuff. So I improvised.
Kerry was made from some of Alison McKee's wonderful pale pink mohair. It's lightly distressed. Kerry is 8inches tall and weighted with a little steel shot...

a new dress

I have been intrigued with pillowcase dresses for my grand daughter Lili and have made her several. I decided to try one for a bear...and here it is on Daria.

Daria is off to Prince Edward Island, Canada
