Hanna the Pug


Hey Everyone!
I wanted to share with you Hanna the Pug. Hanna was made as a special commission for Joy in Fort Wayne, IN. Hanna is a 7" pug made out of an off-white alpaca. She has an entirely needle-felted face out of black and white wool. She also has needle felted toes. Hanna has black glass eyes, she's stuffed with silky polyester fiber and steel BBs, and she is fully (5-way) jointed. Thanks for having a look!

Henry the Pig

Introducing... Henry the Pig! This is the first pig that I have ever created. He was done as a special project for my mom, Cindy, for Mother's Day. (I know I'm a week early, but I gave him to her already.) Henry is a 7" pig make out of a short, sparse pink mohair. He has needle felted eyelids, cheeks and a snout. These were all made of a darker pink wool. He is fully jointed and stuffed with silky polyester fiber and steel shot. He also has a little curly wired tail. :)
