Wilma Wabbit

[Melanie Jayne]

Hi guys please meet what was going to be a new or redesign of my anime bear, but some how I came up with a rabbit (wabbit) She is 11" tall with out ears and 14" with. She has a needle felted muzzle and hand painted glass eyes. I am not too sure what I am doing with her yet, so she may go to the dreadful ebay gauntlet

Oh Melanie what a cute bunny !! Lots of lovely detail ,and it still has your trademark style.
I have never tried needle felting. Do you needle felt the features and then stitch them on afterwards?

I haven't a clue.

Thanks Shelly for your comments, I have not needle felted for a while, so she is the first in some months but with needle felting, you simply needle felt straight onto the mohair and build up in layers and if you are using a longer pile mohair you simply trim it away before you start to felt in the area you want, it is really easy but it does take some time to get the felting nice and firm. Give it a go it is rather enjoyable
