Studio time

I finally got some great time in the studio. It has been hectic with school projects that took over my space for a bit. Since they are large it is hard to have them anywhere else in the house! I also have managed to finish a painting for my Husband's birthday, so there has been no shortage of things going on.

My studio looks a huge mess but some good things are being planned and finished. This was my cutting table on Sunday...at least 5 projects on the go.


I have finally finished that badger that is sitting there. I decided he needed to be a Fisherman Badger in a yellow jacket with a So'wester hat on his head and a fish in his pocket. He has been made from that gorgeous chinchilla Tissavel fur in grey, with deep green poly carbonate eyes, needle felted nose and needle felted face details.




He will be listed on Etsy today.

Another big project that has literally taken me a year to finish is my Polar Bear Queen. In one of my first blogs you can see how I started to felt her face. I finally finished. I changed my mind so many times on this one. Finally I let her decide her features and I am happy with the result! I fashioned a simple crown for her out of aluminum and crystal, she has long glitter tipped eyelashes, polymer clay nose and glass eyes. Her paw pads are also felted with corriedale wool. I hope to list her on Etsy soon!
