Needle Felting Spawn!

Fluffy, The White Rabbit

In our home we love quiet busy activities that take up time and engage little fingers and minds, thus limiting the free time that often sparks boredom spats or some version of inevitable bickering sessions concerning someone "footing", spitting, or otherwise pestering the other. we decided on needle-felting as of late due to the rainy weather and overcast spirits, and while the Dreamer and Caveman have long enjoyed felting flat pictoral or colored wool pictures, today was the day for the Dreamer to exert her feelings of maturity and demand to try a three dimensional creature. She asked if I would assist her in creating a rabbit, to which I agreed.

Caveman Creation

Flat Design by Dreamer

Bluebird Flying Over a Rainbow

The Dreamer began by rolling up an oblong shape with white wool and felting it until it was to her desired texture and density.

She next rolled and needled a smaller ovalish shape for the head and a teensy weensy round cottontail, and attached these to the main body.

For the ears, she needled two flattened shapes and then attached them to the sides of her rabbit-in-the-making.

Eyes were next, and the Dreamer smushed some black wool between her fingers prior to felting it to the head.

 

She did the same to create a little pink nose finishing, then beaming with pride at "Fluffy".

 

Happiness can be found by felting flat or in the round, it's as simple as going searching for earthworms...
