As I was making the other bunnies I just had to make one for my friend, who’s dad was a doctor, hence, Papa Doc. She had a picture of her dad in the 20’s with his plus-fours and the flat cap. I had some fabric scraps laying around from a curtain I made her a few years ago so it was a no-brainer to use those to make her Papa Doc Bunny. Of course, with this outfit, he had to…
Sculpting with wool and a needle. My first needle felted animal. I like this new craft, but I do need to learn to keep my fingers away from those really sharp needles.
After the horses I though it was time for bunnies, as Easter was just around the corner. Every new animal has unique features. For the bunnies, it’s their big floppy ears. I love using many media in my work. These guys weren’t just sewing. I knitted mama’s hat and crocheted her basket. I used needle felting for all of their noses. There’s a little beading in there too (earrings).
So much fun.
