Please meet Jemima... She has been a long time in the making.. I hope you enjoyed viewing my version ......of a very sweet REAL donkey that resides over at
Hopalong Hollow (you may see her on Jeri's sidebar) with the Mistress of the Mannor, dear Jeri.. An amazing Artist, Author, Illustrator, and a very dear soul.. I am so grateful to have come to know her and proud to call her my friend.
Jemima was lovingly Needle Felted over a wire armature and is gently posable.. Her undercoat was from Jeri's sheep, the softest wool I have touched... Her outer coat is brown Merino wool... She has dark glass eyes and her hoofs and bottom portion of her legs were sculpted.. I then fur over.. Had quite the time with those little legs... She is my first Donkey and was quite the challenge... No, she is not realistic, but I believe she has heart, and a little whimsey is always a good thing.. If she has made you smile, it has made my day.
She is on a 5 day ebay auction.. You may find her here if you care to visit.
Wishing you all a wonderful week...
Blessings, Penny
