More easter bunnies

Well it is that season...

Artisan market. The results!

As posted yesterday, today was spent at my first Artisan market.

I have done a few craft fairs before but this was different. The room was bright and warm and central heated, they had 'runners' to bring you food and drinks and the company from the other traders was wonderful.

Over 200 people visited and I had a good few sales, lots of interest and some good potential business growing opportunities!

One of the things I was selling was my needle felting start kits. I have teddies, bunnies, ladybirds, flowers, owls amd hedgehogs. 

A little boy came to the stall with his mum, a lovely very chatty liitle boy called William. He was only 6 but chatted like a 12 year old. He took a liking to Rodney ( see meet Rodney blog) and begged his mum to buy him. I had to tell him Rodney was my friend and I would be lonely without him. He bought a little teddy instead and then spotted the hedgehog kit. 'Pleeeeeaaase can we make a hedgehog mum' he said. And they bought one.

Later on his evening I got this photo posted on my feltsforever facebook page.

It was William and his new friend hedgehog! 

I was so pleased they had posted it and to recieve such good comments about my kits and how much they enjoyed making him. 

Isn't he such a cutie!  Thank you William!

Caterpillar has his pipe!

I have been meaning to put a pipe with the caterpillar I did, for a while now and here it is!
I have nearly completed Alice, which means I have nearly completed this commission. I will be quite sad to see them all go I have grown attached to them. that's the thing with felting, you start off with a lump of 'fluff'' and after a few thousand stabs, it comes alive!
I have just been asked to make a twenty inch long Sloth, like the one that on the settee adverts at the moment. that will be fun!

Off with her head!

Said the queen of hearts!

She is the next one in my Alice in wonderland set ive been commissioned to do.

I thought id share with you the evolution of her head over the next few blogs, before you see her finished look. I find faces the hardest thing to do and usually end up ripping it off at least three times before im happy with it. In this case every time i do i shall say. OFF WITH HER HEAD hehe.

Here she is so far!
