A Chocolate Lab

WOW! I never realized how hard it would

be to needle felt this dog. Nothing at all like

needle felting a Whippet.

My first needle felted Chocolate Lab. I'm

pretty happy with how he came out.
Must try another one soon!
Thanks for looking!

Meet TJ

Here's a whippet I just finished.

His name is TJ.

Tj is needle felted using a few different types of wool, Dorset, Norwegian(black) and Romeny.

He sits about 5 1/4 inches high and sport a beaded collar.

He also sits on a needle felted mat.

The beaded collar is made using delica beads, fireline thread and the peyote stitch.

This is Tj with is cohort Maribella.

Thanks for looking

Heads

Well it's about time I did a little needle felting.

Here are a couple of heads/pins I made.

They are for sale in my Etsy shop.

www.dogfacegirls.etsy.com

The heads are completely needle felted from 100% wool.

They also have a bar pin back attached so you can wear them on your favorite coat or sweater.

They each measure about 2 3/4 inches long and 1 1/4 inches high.

Just a bunny and Mr Moose is back

Mr Moose is finally nearing completion.
The most difficult part of this moose has been the antlers. But I finally made some antlers that I like.
Here's a little bunny I just finished. He's on his way to Pa in a day or two.

Meet Sonny

This sweet boy was created for a fellow Whippet lover. He is a present for her MIL. Sonny is needle felted and airbrushed. He also has hand blown german glass eyes.

Getting ready for the Whippet National

So this is my first year having a sales table at the Whippet National. I have finished these two dogs this weekend. I have 4 weeks left until the event and not enough thing made, YIKES!!

Sorry for not posting and a few items felted by Geri Williams

I apologize for not posting lately but have been a bit under the weather. So I thought I'd post a couple of pin cushions that were needle felted by my friend and business partner Geri Williams.

Geri and I met at a local Teddy Bear Club Meeting in 1993. I had just started making and selling mohair hand made Teddy Bears under the name Bearly Legal Bears. Geri and I became friends and would see each other at local shows and the like. At that time Geri was making alot of bears out of real fur, like coats and stuff. Eventually she moved on to Mohair and and became famous. We both designed bears for QVC. Geri also went on to design for Disney and has done shows in Japan, Germany, England, Australia and New Zeland. Geri has aslo won numerous awards in the Teddy Bear World. Currently Geri teaches classes in Australia, New Zeland and the United States. She is also working on a Needle Felting book for advances needle felters.

In the meantime

I'm working on a blog about "what is needle felting." But, it's not quite finished. So I thought I'd post a pic of one of my partner latest works. Meet Gladys and Valentine.

fun stuff

This wonderful giraffe is made by my friend and business partner Geri Williams. Geri will be teaching a class in Australia to make this giraffe. He is made from flat felt, stuffed with wool and has needle felted spots and features.
Three horses. The largest horse is the one I have been working on forever, lol. The other two horses are made by my friend and partner Geri Williams.



This lovely fairy is made by my friend and partner Geri. She is riding the horse I have be working on and hope to have done soon.

Mack's back and Houdini too!

Hey, we're back!! So, how do we look? Careful what ya say as we've got ears now, hehehe.

We are almost completed. But, we can't go to Canada yet. We are waiting for our sis, Emmy to be finished.

Hi Mom.

Remember the horse

Here's what he looked like a few weeks ago.
And here is what he looks like now.
He will be getting his mane and tail soon.
Next will be the addition of ears, eyes and facial features.

Black Whippet

Of course this whippet is along way from being done. This is the first time I have not used a core wool..This leetle gal is black all the way through. The toughtest part will be the eyes against the black wool. Thanks to Annie of Wild About Whippets for letting me use pics of her beautful black dog Zinfy.

Houdini in progress

Here I am in progress. Mom had been adding my coloring and brindling, plus my eyes have been set. Notice I don't have any ears yet..Gees she's slow. I do believe I'm coming along nicely. I'm in what's called a "down dog" pose in Yoga, or what is also called the "play bow" pose.

Thanks for looking and do feel free to post a comment or two.

Hi Mom!!

Roos,

Houdini

Meet Savvy Roo

Hello everyone, I leave tomorrow for England. I'm completely needle felted and sport a beautful hand beaded collar. I also have armature in my front and back legs for extra posability. I'm about 10" long.


Don't you think this is a sweet face..I'm off to my new house tomorrow.



Thanks so much for looking..Please feel free to leave a post.

More works in progress

Here are soon to be Mack, Houdini and Emmy. Each is a needle felted dog in varying poses. The standing one is 7" tall , the seated one is 6" tall and the last one is about 7" long. Each one takes hours of poking with a barbed needle. At this stage they are still many hours away from completion. Although, one of them is now getting some coloring and sample eyes. When the are finished they will make their journy home to Canada.

BTW, if you are intested , scroll down to the bottom of the page and view our websites "Needle felting by Geri and me" and "Quilts by Vee". All items are custom made by us. Feel free to ask about pricing and available for a custom made item for you or someone else.

A work in progress

So here it is, my first horse..I've only been working on it for three months. It's grown to 10" tall. I still have a ways to go before it's finished. Ha, it's taken a whole lot of poking to get this far. I think it's taking shape nicely.
