Acanthus joy

I've been sooo enjoying making this 'Acanthus' pattern and have many a plan for it . I do think it could drive me some what potty if used as a wallpaper though, perhaps it should come with a warning. I do love a bit of acanthus!

Calling all snorkel fans

I am pleased to announce that
Snorkel has a new home.
So for all those Snorkel fans
I thought I'd place some last photos of the wee lad in all his clothed wonder
farewell and enjoy your new abode young Snorkel from all of us who have been blessed by your character and company.

As seen on the 'World sweet world' add

This little flyin mouse chappy
was one of the
1st needle felted creations I ever did,
I plan to let loose
more of his relatives
so watch out!

He's in an assisted hovering formation over one of my cat prints.

'Little River Gallery' Prints (so far)

'WELCOME BACK TUI'

Thanks to the
'Banks Peninsula
Tui Restoration' project.

We will soon be hearing,
one of the seven best songsters in
the world,
again on the old volcano.
So get planting those native
nectar trees, to welcome back
one of New Zealands favorite sons,
on his homecoming tour,
beginning April 2009,
in a tree near you.

'NERVOUS KIWI'

You would be too,
if you needed help to survive!

...it is true that New Zealanders
treasure their Kiwi but it has not
been treasured enough...
...poor Kiwi. Everybody, it seems to
want a piece of him,
cars, cats and dogs, ferrets,
possums, rats...
...not to mention the loss of his
habitat too.
...what's a wee guy to do...
kick?

'PEEVED HUIA'

Well you would be too if you were extinct!

...All because people wanted you to decorated their homes and museums
in England...
...Then there was King George V,
who wore one of your tail feathers
in his hat, so of course everyone
else wanted one too!
Not surprisingly the poor
New Zealand Huia become extinct...

...and rather peeved!
(and do you blame him)

"knew i planted that tree for a reason"

A wee bit nippy

It can get quite the cold thing out ere on the peninsula, but ooh it does it so well!

A little Celtic-flavor

Here's images of an elaborate Celtic-flavored little number
that I kinda got carried away with, I rather like this one!
If you would like to see these above images in more detail, just click on them.

Other Felting projects

I thought you people may like to see some further example of other of my felt projects, so here they are.
The following images are mostly felt work that I have made for gifts . I had loads of fun making them
for friends and family last Christmas. They seem to have grown more and more detailed as time went on!

This little duck guy needed to stand on spindly legs, so wire was needed all through his body to add support.
