a mouse in progress

 A wee mouse is peeking out of his hole beneath the boletes.
A piece I'm making for a fundraiser for a local charity.


I just need to finish up a few details and the wood base.  Almost done.

As always, this piece is made of solid wool by means of a felting needle.  No gluing, no structural sewing, just poking wool a gajillion times with a barbed needle until it tangles into a shape I like.

  2. I want to try my hand at needle felting. Are there any beginner kits you would recommend, please? I'd like to make a lamb or fat, wooly sheep. :-)
