Please meet * Bella * Needle Felted Bear

I hope you enjoy viewing Bella.. She is my fourth needle felted creation. She is 5" tall in seated position..I have not done a lot of needle felting, but I really enjoyed myself.. I think I will pick up my needles more often... practice, practice practice... I could not help myself, I just had to make her a little TUTU and a vest... They are removable... She is available on Ebay if you would like to visit her 5 day auction.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Blessings,
Penny

  1. PENNY!!! SHE MADE IT TO THE BIG STAGE!!!! I LOVE THE VEST! Whew....you really worked hard on BELLA and she is so sweet. Whoever gets her will squeal with delight, because I know that she is soft and furry, pretty and cute as a button. I LOVE THAT VEST!!! And I was intrigued on my lunch break as I watched those magic hands manipulate that felt needle project. I was unable to finish watching it, for my students were charging in! But it looked like a RAT in the making!!!! NOW YOU HAVE ME VERY EXCITED TO START AT LEAST the wet felting with Olivia! I have to grab my wool from sweet Amy at THIS WONDROUS PLACE THIS FAIRY SPACE...I must make a flower for sure. Ahhhhh.....you are my dear, dear friend. It was a special treat to hear your voice twice this week. We laughed, we just chattered on. And I feel as if I know Bella!!!

    We are gonna celebrate all weekend by just going out to antique stores, walking, carrying on as usual. Blessings to you dearest heart!!! Anita

  3. BONJOUR BELLA!!!! You darling little bear, may I borrow your vest? you see I love to wear only boots, and have never liked the feel of cloths against my fur....but I think I would love to sport an aqua vest!!!! TEA RAT

    Oh sweetness, thank you for coming over to wish us your best for our anniversary! IT IS THE WEEKEND....I AM GONNA TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH!!! What a Friday I had. I got a bit fed up with a student who after THREE requests to get in line, just out right defied me. I don't tolerate that. I must be like my mom! She was kind and always smiling, but DON'T CROSS MAMA!!! WOOOOO did I learn my lessons early on. Well this little tyke saw a side of me that he probably never knew was there! Really, all I ask is that you listen and carry on!

    O.K. Bella, you do a little dance for us, you dancing bear! I LOVE YOUR TUTU!!!

    CIAO BELLA MES AMIES! Anita

  12. Oh Penny, Bella is Beautiful - and so well named! :) Actually, you know my little cat reminds me a lot of your creations - (especially the first one in this posting of Edward this week!) And as with Edward I totally expect your dolls to move on their own and peek out from a bag or from the side of a door too! They are just so sweet! You must be a reflection of them and that's why I so love visiting with you!
    Have a lovely Sunday!
    Blessings!
    Ann

  22. Between the mice and the bears I can hardly stand it, they are way too cute! I have just received some cute hand felted bunny girls from a Philadelphia blogger. You can see them today on her blog Penny at Buckscountyfolkart.blogspot.com. Jill is a vendor in my shop. Take a peek if you have time. She does really beautiful work too that I know you would have fun taking a peek at.
    Are you doing well on Ebay? I should think so!

  23. She is a doggone cutie. Needle felting is something I have wanted to try. I have all the felt I could ever need, what with my three sheep. The felt is easy to make from newly shorn wool. If you want to make some wonderful felt, let me know and next time I shear, I will send you some "Beatrix" wool!

  28. Penny, We shear in May and I am going to send you the most BEAUTIFUL curly silvery black wool from Sophia and some nice off-white wool from Beatrix. You will love the scent of the wool, with the lanolin, and it is so easy to turn to felt. You just wash it in very hot water in the washing machine. Jeri
