Status: offline 		Thanks! :)  The white mouse is done in a different wool and it is easier to get more detail with that wool. Now needle felting purists would say that I need to keep needling until there are no stray fibers sticking up at all which, as you can imagine, is a lot of needling. Not that I mind that it's just that I'm not convinced that on meeses and hedgehogs that the smooth smooth look is really appropriate.

Lil White Meese needs a bit more work before I post her on Etsy, but I'm pleased with her! :) And have been looking for sources for wool roving. JoAnn's is not the cheapest and they had almost no selection. Have bookmarked a couple of good sources.

Okay - my first tiny tiny piece - not so sucessful but I learned a lot - also different wool (and better color) would probably make a difference as well.

Status: offline 		I missed this thread until now - saw these beasties in your etsy store.... just love them, they are sooo cute!  I am sure people would want a whole collection of them, I know I do but I do not collect things anymore.... at least I don't think I do.....

I've ordered some wool roving so maybe I'll have the right stuff or colors before too long.

Did this today:



Would be better with a smoother wool but at least I learned a bit more about making small - hardest things are the ears.
And have managed to break two felting needles now - guess I've passed my intitiation! LOL!!!

He still needs some needling and if I had had a nice wool blah blah blah. :)  Not too shabby for my first dog. :)

The dog was based on a pattern so I don't think I will offer him on Etsy. I think it is better if I just offer beasties that I totally made out of my head. :)



I think I will offer "Lucky Lapins" ;)

Tiny Tiny Tiny!!! :)

I think I need to needle all of these a bit more (need to get some more needles too) and perhaps trim them a bit too but they're nice and soft and cute! :)

Those are really sweet Jeanne!
