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

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!
