Please meet Andre...
I has such fun needle felting this little guy... He is 6 inches in length and to the tip of his tail he measure 7 inches. His eyes are black glass inset beads.. He was needle felted over a wire armature, his core is Sufolk/Hamshire cross sheep wool, top coat is merino wool, needle felted into the core and scissor cut. Claws were wrapped with embroidery thread.. Don't worry, he is very gentle, just a baby you know..
He is available on ebay..
Thank you so much for coming over to meet Andre...

What a darling, he looks real. We have skunk visitors to our back patio, they are so pretty. I posted a photo of one a few weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteHello Andre,
ReplyDeleteI saw this baby skunk on my side bar, Penny, and I thought it was real! You did a fantastic job on him. He is precious and looks adorable sitting next to those pretty blue and purple flowers. I went to So Cal for Mother's Day, and had a wonderful time. It would be so nice to meet someday when I'm there, wouldn't it?
Have a lovely week.

Sheri, oh yes! It would be wonderful to meet someday when you are in California... I would love it!
DeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteI thought Seal Beach was the most charming town. I bought a really cute glass paperweight at one of the shops there. And they had the best bakery with the most amazing looking desserts. Such a fun time.
love,

He is so lifelike and love the photos sitting beside the pretty blue flowers.

Oh my goodness he is adorable.....you always amaze me with your talent. Thank you so much for leaving me a comment about roses today...I did pick out a David Austin...called The Generous Gardener {Ausdrawn}...it is a beautiful soft pink one...can't wait for it to grow. Hugs to you my friend.
ReplyDeleteOh Koralee, the rose you picked is a beautiful one indeed! Thank you for your kind words
DeleteAww! Andre sniffing the pretty blue flowers. They must smell so nice! He looks wonderful! So alive and sweet and soft. Every creature you make shows another stride forward in skill and realism. Such creative talent and such careful, dedicated craft.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, this is so real, so cute!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you saw my post where i captured the photo of a black bear and her two cubs, well in that area i smelled the faint scent of skunk
so i wonder if the bears got sprayed
i have smelled it a few times in the woods
either a skunk is spraying all sorts of critters
or the bears have been near a few times
i bet you did not include the skunk gland in this charming critter of yours ;-)
hello again,
ReplyDeletethe bear is on my Spirithelpers blog:

ReplyDeleteI HEAR THE MUSIC!!!!!! And little André is scampering about, looking for his woodland friends. I just had to come by to say hello before he says "au revoir!" XOXOOX
ReplyDeleteIt must be hard to bid farewell to your little creations dearest Penny....it is FOR ME to see them go away! But I know the joys of welcoming one of them when I am able to have one of your creations. OH ANDRÉ, you are a joy! teehehehe
ReplyDeleteHave a super Thursday dearest friend!
Hi Penny, Andre' is so sweet, even though he's a lil stinker! I can't imagine what you might create next, you are so good at every animal you felt!! Only you could make a skunk darling! Love him Penny. Hope all is great with you. My husband had been on vacation this past ten days, so this is why I have been absent! xoxox Christel
