With some help from her own canine companion Molly, Sheryl Smith of Van Nuys, CA needle felted this wonderful scene. What a great moment you’ve captured, Sheryl! I love the dog’s little collar!
“Hi! Here is my newest needle felted project, finished last week. It’s a Bluetick Coonhound doing what coonhounds do. The dog was made using the darkest gray [charcoal] in the Monochrome Goody Pack, with black patches, and the dog’s tan markings and the racoon were made with colors from the flesh tones goody pack. My springer spaniel Molly helped me find the stick for the tree, on our walk in the woods.”

Hi,
Just to let you know what a WONDERFUL surprise to see your “treed racoon”! It is too cute and you did such a great job on it. It has inspired me to do more felting.
Thank you for your “fun” look of the animals.

Oh how hilarious! There is a running joke/story in our family that my brother is going to raise raccoons in his retirement, along with a German Shepherd. I have been wanting to needlefelt a raccoon for him, and this is a great example! What
a great mini diorama!
