This was the first bunny shared from our new Bunnies of Hoppy Hollow kit. We love how one project or kit will vary at the hands and creativity of each artist. This little garden bunny is just so darling!
“Finished my bunny! I am happy the way it turned out, but I do need some improvements but it was a great learning experience. I can’t wait to start another one. Need to order more eyes etc.”
– Pat Miller, Vermont
Finished bunny sits about 10″ high to tips of ears 🙂
You can get a Standard Kit with all the wool and supplies needed a Deluxe Kit which includes a 10×7 foam and Special Variety Pack of 4 needles or if you have all the supplies, just get the PDF Download!
We are very grateful to bunny artist, Sharon Weinmeyer for sharing her mad bunny skills for this kit!
These are a few of Sharon’s bunnies 🙂
Up until now she has sold her bunnies in person, but Sharon just opened an etsy shop where you can check them out: TheFeltedHare
Mother Mary, Kimberly Pulli, Pennsylvania
This week we share with you four different artists who have created art works on similar subjects, using four very different approaches to create a 2D work of fiber art.
Kimberly Pulli of Pulli’s Woollies is fast becoming known for her incredible art work purses featuring unique and beautiful faces of women. This lovely Virgin Mary is on a purse that was a gift for her Mother-in-Law. Kimberly wet felts the purse and uses it as a canvas. Her process includes both wet felting and needle felting in stages.
She uses Living Felt MC-1 Batts, Merino Tops, Luster Fibers, Silk Fabrics and other fibers for her textural art works.
We are very excited that Kimberly will come teach a class at Living Felt this summer.
We still have space in her 3-day class in July. It is going to be fun!
This is a fine and FUN HAT — we love the shape and design.
“This hat was made using Living Felt medium hat block and the extension. Living Felt Black Onyx MC -1 Batt with alpaca sandwiched in between layers. It was wet felted then more batt was needle felted over top which added strength and a finished look. The hat band was left over felting and Lincoln Locks are the embellishment.
Thank you for supplies and knowledge you provide.”

“This is Saffron. He’s a hedgehog fairy and stands about 5 inches tall. I think the locks – gifted to me by Silke Sordyl added the perfect touch!
Saffron is my first fantasy type character. And, I’ve discovered a new favorite needle – LF purple spiral #40. I used it quite extensively throughout this project.”
– Erin Whalen, Wisconsin
The Awesome Wool Organization that FIRED UP our fb group. Some people are already setting up their own version of this innovative storage system! We love it!
“It was time to organize my small work area! I didn’t have room for plastic storage containers so this is what I came up with! I can see all my wool basically at once.
When I run out of a color, I hang the plastic bag at the end and then I know what to order. All bags are labeled with a sample of wool and color name! The gray bags hanging on the left side hold my wet felting supplies!”
– Judy Stodola, Tennessee
