A blue star for a friends new baby girl ...

A blue coat for another Edward Tulane Rabbit!

And Edwards amazing 'painted' blue eyes, another WIP ...

WIP Edward Tulane Dolls, felted eyes!

legs!

what is this 6-legged creature I see before me?

OUCH!

He likes his coat, but not the needle felting needle in his eye!

Edward's Eyes ...

...are carefully needle felted, as i try and minic the idea that he is a china rabbit and would have his eyes painted on ...



therefore I paint with my needle until everything to the tiny highlight is complete, and then his character starts to really shine!


...even though his eyes are not shiny ... and his muzzle and mouth, well that's needle sculpting!

Edward Tulane - Rabbit Doll, WIP ...

‎- That's better isnt it Edward?
- Yes, edward, it IS!
- Clothes would be nice, wouldnt they?
- Oh yes, edward .....

WIP - pretty eyes!

jess, the muppet doll....WIP

Muppet Jess is getting some eyes - I started with the whites, and just popped in some pins so she didn't look too strange!



she also has 2 special tattoos, just like real Jess does!



I think she looks very happy !

Little Edward - a 15 inch Edward Tulane Doll...

edward, waiting for his paws to be pulled (with thread) and a coat...



And here he is ready for the big wide world, complete with whiskers and his satin lined coat ...



fairly new to needle felting, I love it and enjoy creating his eyes, which were only white orbs of wool in my last post about this little rabbit!



in this pick I tried to give Edward the same dreamy look he wears on the cover of the book, where he sits on the shelf waiting for some one to come in a buy him ...

Edward Tulane gets ears and eyes ....WIP

I decided to needle-felt his eyes, so that they would look more part of him, more painted ....

rawwwwwrrrr!

ok so it might have looked like a an angora show-rabbit for a time ...

but wow i had fun felting these eyes, first the balls, then linings and tear ducts, pupils, highlinghing and finally a white dot - ding !
