Panda work in Progress

I thought it'd be interesting to post some work-in-progress pictures of my newest creation. 

This panda bear unfortunately does not look attractive until he is finished, but I can assure you he will be a handsome boy bear. 

removing the mohair

spiders?    Or the start of some paws?

needlefelting a muzzle

checking symmetry

hopefully both profiles look alike

all mohair has been rooted back in. 

 

 

 

Hope you liked these photos.  Tomorrow I will make panda some claws for his paws and then he will be listed on my etsy page  http://etsy.me/2o7pXlP. 

I am happy with the way he is progressing.   There is a balance to be found between realistic and cute.   I think I have achieved that here.   Your comments are always welcome.

Sneak Peak

I've been a busy bee.  Here is a sneak peek at what I'm working on

coming soon

 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
