Make What You Love

Folk Art Owl Doll...  My Favorite 

Finished this girl today .. I really missed needle felting and was in the mood for it.  I think it is probably more relaxing than any other medium , even though it takes a hours and hours especially if you are felting something big. For one , I can do it anywhere unlike clay that is messy so that I have to be at my desk . Two , I think there something therapeutic about working with the soft and fuzzy animal wool . I am working on a fox like this one as well. I have really been putting some serious thought into re-opening my Etsy store very soon . I really love this doll  ...  I don't know how I am ever going to open a store when I want to keep all my dolls for myself !  ; )  I guess I need to start making two at a time. It's hard enough to find the time for one  : (  I found this little wicker chair at the flea market and I have got this cloth body pattern I made down pat. I like it because I can adjust the size and attach any kind of head to the body , whether it is felted or made of clay , paper mache etc. etc.. I got this nifty sewing box for 40 % off at  Jo-Ann's . Love it !  I can carry my felting stuff in here too  :) 

 I snatched this sucker up so fast .  Like I said , it definitely has Lisa written all over it

She has little owl babies that go in her pockets . Teeny Owl Faces = LOVE
