 from simple bits and pieces

 

to another little sweetie

waiting till I have finished a whole tribe of animals  made before I photograph and post them properly.  

embroidered baby blanket

It's a long while since I posted here but I have not been idle.   I just havent made anything to sell.   Last year I hand embroidered a baby blanket for my friend's daughter............a very special woman, a warrior,  who has endured and conquered so much, and always with a smile and formidable spirit. Her positive attitude inspires all who know her.   As we had all lived in Botswana some years ago and spent endless holidays in the Okavango and Zimbabwe I decided to go with a wild animal theme...........as the bush was, and still is very much a part of our lives. 

 Here is adorable baby Kayden on his  embroidered blanket

Had a great deal of fun making this group of babies.   Some in diapers, a couple with baby bottles.   Here they are all together.

Fennec Fox

Francesca is the sweetest little fennec fox, with a lovely smile.  She was created from my own design.

13 cms tall 

Made from the softest longpile Alpaca which I have subtely shaded with hints of beige, fawn, and rosey cream coloured pastels 

Shiny black English glass eyes, with embroidered white accent.

Her nose is sculpted from Apoxy clay, sanded, sealed and then painted black.

Horsehair whiskers.

Stuffed with polyfibre filling . Tail wired for posing.

I needed to lengthen her muzzle to make it more realistic, so the fur in that area was first plucked out and then needlefelted, before rerooting Alpaca strands back onto the muzzle. The new muzzle area was then scissor sculpted.  This process is extremely time consuming but makes a great difference to the end look.  

fluffy white tail with internal wire armature

fluffy tail keeps her warm and cosy

 

Francesca will be  available for adoption on Ebay now
