Here's some Bears!!

Hi Everyone and thanks once again for dropping by to visit! I hope you will enjoy your visit even more this month as I am so pleased with these new creations. I seem to have found my felting niche at the moment and I'm really enjoying it. Fingers crossed that it doesn't disappear too soon!

I have experimented with different wools lately and there are a few merino ones in this lot!
Hope you like them! Liza



Luna
This little bear is felted from a gorgeous merino blend, I just love the big paw pads!

Snookie is felted from wool I dyed myself! Yay, so pleased with lil ole me! I used Koolaid and it's so easy. I've got more experimenting to do yet tho! :o)

Yes, it is indeed a Mermaid! Rather a big one too, she's about 10 - 11 inches long but sits with her tail curved etc so is about 6 inches tall sitting. She is felted over a wire armature and has soy silk hair!

Not sure if she is completely finished yet, needs fatter arms I think and maybe some embellishing.

Bronson is my favourite this week. He is so sweet, felted from a rather coarse fibre he is nice and scruffy but I just love the toes and the glasses. Doesn't his bow tie suit him so well too!

Camey is my cameo bear, she comes with this gorgeous mini shoe and wears a crochet ruffle at her neck.


Citra is another felted from wool I dyed. I mixed a lovely soft lime shade with a soft orange, I really like the effect. I enjoyed making big eyes again too! :o)

Eddie the Teddy! He's just a basic bear but still a sweetie. He is felted in an apricoty wool and I made him as my example bear for my latest felting class.

This little darling doesn't have a name yet, guess my creativity is sapped a bit today, it's just not coming to me like they usually do. I finished this one a few hours ago, and just love the colours. I suppose I could call her Mandy because of the mandarin colour she is made of!

Ok, hope you liked them all, guess I had better get to the business of making my tags!! Huggles to all!! Liza

Hiya Liza ... you have been a busy girl over here... lol...I love to come and check out what you are up to.

Your mermaid was a lot of felting..whew!!! I like her arms as they are ..makes her seem quite a delicate creature.. I think you are right about perhaps some little embellishment.... perhaps a little string of pearls..a shell to hold? a mini seahorse? ...

The new little bears are all cute. I seem to have fallen off my wagon... not done much at all since hurting my back 3 weeks ago..but feel much better now.

Christmas stuff is in the shops now.. and I found two tiny sleighs. I want to make a little "skinny bottomed" guy to fit into it. I made one a couple of Christmases ago but some woman bought him right out of the sleigh. I had always planned to make another & now I have 3 little tiny sleighs...better get busy eh?
