AFRICAN AMERICAN DOLL IS FINISHED
Her brown fuzzy lambs wool hair was needle felted into pigtails. She's quite a happy little girl and is finally done. I love her dress fabric. It is a lovely cotton fabric with green, brown and teal colors. The print is beautiful flowers and butterflies. Under the dress she has on white cotton underpants.

WOOL BUNNY RABBIT DOLL ~WOOL EGGS~
Wool Rabbit Doll by Bethann Scott |
Easter is just around the corner and I thought I would sew another rabbit doll. The rabbit is made with a wool blend fabric.I wanted to make some eggs so I thought I would try needle felting. I used sheep's wool for the egg base (instead of wool batting or roving). Then I needle felted wool crewel yarn to the egg. It took forever! No wonder the prices for needle felted art are so high. I don't think this type of art is for me unless it is very small. That's why the next two eggs were sewn with wool. I just didn't want to take the time to needle felt two more eggs.

SWEET LITTLE BUNNY RABBIT
Bunny Rabbit Doll by Bethann Scott thestitchfiddler |
The rabbit is button jointed so he can sit with legs up or down. This is the first time I used wool for a rabbit body and I love it. It looks so good!
