Please meet Spencer the Bear

Hello again... This is Spencer.. Lovingly needle felted in wool..  He is 5 inches tall seated.. 
Eyes are hand painted inset beads.. 
This summer has gone by so fast..  Soon fall will be here...  Truth be told, I am looking forward to some cool weather, are you?  All the outside projects I had in mind this year have yet to be completed due to the heat.
Thank you so much for visiting.. 

I  hope you enjoyed your stay..

Bella A birthday gift for Miss B

Last weekend was Miss B's birthday....  She has a little Maltipoo that she adores.. So for her birthday I needle felted a ~ mini Bella ~  for her...
 When she arrived home after her big day she sent me this photo..
I have to tell you that I laughed myself silly!  Will you just look at Bella's expression..... Her eyes were so BIG, like what is this?   She said Bella was afraid of it!


I made her a little hot pink collar with a metal B attached.


Thank you for coming over to say hi to Bella and Mini Bella.
blessings,
Penny

Inspired by Honey Bee the miniature pony who lives with ~ Willow ~

 Willow put up a post that touched my heart and made me smile... Thank you Willow for the inspiration.
Please take a moment to visit and meet the real Honey Bee here .... She has posted more photos of Honey Bee..

I just had to attempt to paint this sweet miniature pony,  named Honey Bee,  and her Rooster friends...  It was quite  a challenge for me..  I have painted horse heads in the past years, but have never attempted to paint the body... Now I know why..  It's their legs.. Very difficult, for me anyway...  I have changed the background as to put a little of myself into the painting..  I hope you enjoy my rendition.
Thank you so much for visiting...




Below.....  my rendition  8x10 acrylic on canvas panel  


Wishing you all a beautiful week.

Penny

Please meet Harold WIP to completion

What's a Harold you say?   Pretty silly looking, don't you think?

I thought I would include a few WIP photos.


Well, I'm working on it

 Still working


Don't you just love my new Needle felting
 wood tool?  It will hold 5 needles.




 Ouch!



  Was someone talking to me?
  Hello.. you may call me Harold...




I like shinny things.. Is that wrong?






I am quite large, don't you think?  Mum got carried away.. I kept growing and growing..
Nine inches tall...



See ya!  On my way to my new home!


This little guy was needle felted with the most beautiful   grey wool, (except his face)  thanks to Sophia, who lives in the Hollow with dear Jeri Landers..    Please do drop in and say hi .. 
 The white and black wool is alpaca wool, which I  purchased a while back.  
He is gently posable, toes are wire.  Inset acrylic eyes..
  What a lovely surprise it was to receive an email this morning to let me know he sold.   I had just listed him yesterday on Ebay..  I am truly blessed, and very thankful.
Oh happy day!
Thank you dear friends for taking time to meet Harold.
blessings,
Penny

Zoe Home from the groomers

Hi everyone,
I thought I would share a few photos of Miss Zoe,  all 8 pounds of her..  She had such a long day at the groomers.. I just picked her up,  I think she need a nap... She always looks at me like.....Don't LEAVE me, when I drop her off...  Jasper loves to go to the groomers, but not Zoe.. She has issues. In fact, she is on my lap as I type..
Wishing you all a happy and safe 4th of July....

Please visit  Angela Sullivan at  ~Through the Eyes of an Artist~ and see the  painting of  my little ZOE!  She looks BEAUTIFUL! Angela is a painter that has captured my heart for quite some time.. A beautiful artist.  I love her brush work... Make sure you take a peek at her other paintings... I know you will enjoy.
Thank you Angela...
