Felting, jabbing, bleeding

After the little, felted bunny for my sister

I knew I just had to try a mouse

Since it was now my second felted project

I thought I might have fewer finger jabs

less bleeding

less pain

and I would say for the most part

that was true during the 'Mouse Adventure'

She has such personality

and I am quite fond of her, really.

So I am quite happy she is going off 

to a lovely and welcoming home...

and will have a name and a story all her own 

She did have one encounter 

during the photography session

A felted hamster...

(an Etsy find from a few years ago)

had to come and check her out.

So once  little Miss Mouse was done

I was reluctant to put my felting supplies away

and while watching T.V. last night

I pulled out a bit of wool.

Keep in mind that on the couch with me

was the very energetic Miss Luna Bella

who wanted nothing more than a mouthfull

of wool!!!

Several times she gleefully grabbed a wad

and ran to the corner of the couch

and I would have to wrestle it away from her.

Clearly she thought she hit 'pay dirt'

'stuffing' 

without having to rip a toy apart!!!!

Between the wool retrieving

and the glances up at the T.V.

(NOT something I recommend while felting)

....the jabbing and bleeding began

because I was determined to make a teensy bear..

a toy for a doll.

The almost finished product

with a few guides for size reference

 

and the torture tool of choice

the deadly felting needle!!!
