Mother Goose WIP needle felted with a gift from the heart

She is quite large as you can see by my hand.. I think I got carried away..   She is still a work in progress, need to finish her feet and wings... Not sure about her beak.   I am thinking it may be a bit long.
.
With some of my wool sculptures I build a wire armature wound with yarn.. Not all, but some.. She is on of them.  This way she can pose .

Mother Goose was needle felted  with 100 % Natural wool gifted to me by dear
Dore of Burlap Luxe..  Please take a moment to visit her beautiful shop.  She is an amazing artist in several mediums and turns furniture into pieces of art..  I am blessed to call her my friend.  I believe Dore's shop is a true reflection of her soul..  Calm, soothing,  peaceful,  and full of beauty.

Can you believe it?  Look at this georgeous wool. It is heaven to work with..  

Well, what can I say except the needles are flying...  Thank you from the bottom of my heart  Dore...  

This owl below ( Pumpkin) was also created with my gifted wool, and
dear Anita of Castles Crowns and Cottages purchased it as soon as I put it in my Etsy shop!  What a sweetheart! Thank you dearest Anita!  Please take a moment to visit Anita's  Etsy shop.. She has added some of the most darling creations!  Anita is also a very talented artist.. Her paper sculptures take my breath away..  Most of all,  she is what you see.  A beautiful, kind hearted, sensitive soul  that has come into my life and is a true friend. 

Pumpkin is 4 inches tall and will fly home tomorrow.


I have one owl left in my Etsy shop pictured below.
He is 3 inches tall.
This one is 3" Tall. 

Thank you all for taking time to drop in for a visit..  I wish to thank everyone for your very kind thoughts and always here to cheer me on.. You have no idea how much your words touch my heart.


Update on Mother Goose
I finished her wings and feet yesterday.. She is all ready to take flight.

But not without her bonnet and shawl.... I fashioned them from grey felt
and cotton lace..  She can wear them when needed.


Thank you so much for visiting.. I hope you enjoyed.
Love and blessings,
Penny

Moonbeam the horse and a visit to Beehavenacres

While visiting dear Beverly at Bee haven acres  I saw Moonbeam, her beautiful horse.
I was so inspired, I had to put him on paper in watercolor...   If I have captured even a slight likeness I would be pleased... I hope you enjoy my interpretation of Moonbeam.  I have included a photo with permission of the real beauty.. I hope you will take time to click the link above and go visit Beverly and all her critters at the farm.

Below is the real Moonbeam

Thank you so much for visiting..

Where's Mary?



Where's Mary?



Are you over there?



Or  maybe here?



I have my bell on so you can here me


I will rest a moment



The sun is going down Mary, where are you?


                                          Is that you I see over there?
                                                  



There you are!


Stay right beside me,  I will show you the way home.


With Love

This little lamb has been lovingly needle felted with the finest wool.. She has a dark undercoat.  It gives her a bit of a vintage look I think.. She was created over a wire armature so you may gently pose her.. She measures 4 inches tall and is 5 1/2" in length.  The painting of the little girl is an oil painting of mine of my niece when she was very young.
 Where's Mary is available on Ebay. 
I hope you enjoyed your visit.
Blessings,
Penny

A moussie tribute to the movie classics

I hope you enjoy  
 ~Breakfast at Tiffacheese ~ .

This little mouse has been needle felted with white merino wool.  Her felt dress and hat, designed and sewn my me. Her hat is felt with a cardstock insert and dressed with a ribbon.   I thought I would make her some heels, so I sculpted them with fimo clay..  She stand a little under 5" tall.





Thank you for visiting..
Enjoy the music.
Blessings,
Penny
p.s..  Just finished making a few accessories.. I hope you enjoy her purse and faux pearl collar...  The collar is removable.  It just ties in the back.
I think she is ready now.
If you care to visit her ebay auction, just click her image on my sidebar.

I cannot tell you how full of joy I am to receive such kind and encouraging words..  Somehow, thank you just does not seem like enough.
Blessings,
Penny
