Felted sculptures of animals

 

I offer this...

by Lavender & Lark, she creates the loveliest hares & faery folk, using the old method of needle felting.

and more...

And I just saw this lovely felted piece on Facebook yesterday afternoon, by Canadian, Shannon Parsons, as a tribute to the monks Walking for Peace, and their dog.

The path of first sunshine coming in this week on Jan 16. Compare it to the Winter Solstice furthest reach of sun on Dec. 21, 2025. Just about a foot of difference. Finally some solar difference. Now for more daylight minutes!!

  1. Felted sculptures. It is both odd and kind of wonderful, the directions that people take in their lives.

    1. I've made a form (can't call it quite a figure) once with felted stuff. Didn't keep it around long. Glad to see others' work that looks so cute.

    2. I agree. I tried, but I found I was an old dog without new tricks!

  2. Phoebe Capelle creates some amazing things! It's difficult to give our house plants enough this time of year. Be well.

    1. Thanks for giving this New Zealand artist's name. I'm happy that the philodendron doesn't need much light.

  3. Those felted creatures truly are lovely. I know that in some ways, we can and all do make art of our own but the art of some people is just so skilled. Yours, for example.

    1. Thanks...now I spend time finding the creativity which others have displayed. It's neat to sort through what's shown on the internet. And sometimes go to galleries too in the area.

  5. Oh, very sweet rabbits and fairies and such. I always wonder how to keep felted art clean though. Not like you can wipe the dust off.

  9. Those felted creations are beyond wonderful. What delight to see them. My friend Gretel makes felted critters, has even written a couple how-to books, but i have never tried it.
