Charles , a Needle Felted French Bull Dog

Here is a felt made for a lovely lady in the U.S.A  .... This little guy was great to make because the markings made him so distinctive . The face came through with real soul. 

Hello Charles

Soulful Charles

Bonnie becomes a Needle Felted Black French Bull Dog

 Here is Bonnie , made for a lovely family in Germany . I was having a battle with my old camera when I took these pics. It is so difficult to photograph black , so many apologies for the pictures. Bonnie is still beautiful though.

ByeBye Bonnie !! 

PoTaTo Needle Felted French Bulldog -Custom Made

Here is a little one I made this summer for a very nice customer . This is Potato and now lives in Hong Kong . I loved all the cute markings , the fibre used was a nice Finnish wool . The woodland stand is also all made with wool ... the mushrooms are bendy and Potato can stand up on the grassy mound as there are little holes for the feet.

Black and White French Bull Dog

I made this little one a month or so ago , it was nice to make an older style of Frenchy .....more like a bear than a dog, However , I was struggling to get the right sort of eyes . These are amber safety eyes and they glow in the camera flash making poor Frenchie look a bit evil ! Poor little thing . I used plain glass teddy eyes after this experience

Watch it Frenchie !! It is a long way down.

Be seeing you !

Pax the Custom Boxer Dog Needle Felt

I have been very bad at blogging  .... now I am on catch up.

Ebay sales went through a horrible stage so I have made a few changes , you will see 

a newly developed needle felt in the near future . I have just started using special eyes.

Here is a custom dog called Pax still in the older style.

My customer loved the finished pup.

Musing on the garden wall

Here are some nice pictures of my needle felted Dalmation dog ...a Spotty Dog..
He is made of lambswool inside with a Finnish wool outer and black corriedale spots.
He has found a nice new home in the U.S.A ....New York state . I auctioned Spotty on ebay
, he was rather slow to start but found a home eventually. Bon Voyage Spotty Dog.

Needle Felted Chihuahua - Current ebay auction

Here is my very latest creature , a small size Chihuahua made from Finnish Wool . This guy has a full armature and poses nicely. I like this wool , it makes for a very natural coat for the doggi sculpt. Came together pretty easily which was a relief as I had so much time off over Christmas. Little Finnish Chi has a very low start price of £9.99 ...... pop over and have a look. The link to the ebay page is above.

I also made the Blue Mohair bear from a pattern , one of Vibianne Galli's creations. I just love her work - have a look http://vivianne-galli.blogspot.com/

Like the eye markings
