You might as well Jeanne! You really never know. Get yourself a good following... point them to etsy... or just continue to make a name for yourself on ebay. Some people make all their money there and are completely content with it. It has its issues but to each his own.

THANKS!!!!

Well I'm still thinking on it.

Heather - I'm not sure I am going to do dogs - I've mentioned it before - there is a book out called Fleece Dogs which is, for the most part, a pattern book for making small dogs - the results is you see a lot of small dogs on Ebay and elsewhere most of which are based on that book.

I do intend to start making some dragons - just not exactly sure when I will start doing that. :)

I hope the gallery offer works out! That would be wonderful! Your beasties will end up being the choice of collectors I am sure once people know you are out there. They are all sooooo cute and well done!!!!

Thanks HRM!!!

The gallery bought 4 beasties. I haven't heard back from him so far - and no feedback but I know they were goodly creatures so I hope they will sell for him and he'll be back for more! :)

Wonderful little cuddlers! I think you got some great little friends there. I can't wait to see what else you crank out. Will we be seeing any ferrets ?

(blushes) THANK YOU!!!! :)

This morning I was cutifying Timothy a bit more and gluing whiskers in place on Ping and Theo (Tracey's cat) and then I started a test Ost* head. I'm not sure I have good colors for doing osts and making there heads is completely different from doing cats. Did figure out a useful trick on ears that I may end up doing on my cats too.

*Osts - a tiny CUTE dragons from my fantasy game world. If you have ever seen Real Musgrave's Pocket Dragons - they are sort of like that but not as cutesy. They're about perfect size to sit on a shoulder in the game world. I'm not planning on making any needle felted ones that are "life size" - although I might.

A needle felted fox that I was watching at auction (13" high) sold for almost $500.

There are some serious collectors out there - I need to latch on to some of them! :)

Maybe not Timothy, being smaller... but they're all great, and it's your call!
