Needle Felted Tiny Little Summer Sunflower Hamster

I wanted to offer something in my Etsy shop that is a little less costly. As you no doubt already know, needle felting is a very time consuming art, and although my prices are in line with some other needle felters, it's nice to have something in my shop that costs a bit less but that doesn't compromise on quality. So, I made this teeny tiny little hamster.

I usually use a core wool for my felted animals, and then I felt in an outer 'fur' wool. But for this hamster, I didn't use core wool. Also, he doesn't have feet (hands and feet are one of the most time consuming parts for me. Some people use polymer clay feet or cut out hands and feet from a piece of ready made felt. I prefer the hands and feet to be needle felted)  It doesn't make too much difference though, as he is still able to stand, and it means I was able to list him at a lower price. It was obviously still time consuming, but I did manage to cut back on the time it took to make him.

Mrs Plop's Needle Felting Kit for Beginners - Make your own 'Frankie Fox'!

Suitable for complete beginners to needle felting. Make your own orange & white miniature needle felted fox with Mrs Plop's needle felting 'Frankie Fox' kit.

Available to purchase in my shop here: Beginners Needle Felting Kit - Frankie Fox by Mrs Plop's Shoppe

The wool included in this kit is extremely high quality 100% British ethically produced wool, from happy, well cared for sheep that roam free on British farms. So they're very happy little sheep. This is a very important thing to Mrs Plop! So, for that reason, they're a teensy bit more than some felting kits, but worth it to know how happy the sheep are that the wool has come from. The wool is also sumptuous, springy, and a dream to felt with! It's the same wool that Mrs Plop herself uses.

This kit includes (almost) everything you need to make your own little Fox friend.

The only thing that isn't included is a felting pad, so you will need to get yourself a felting pad before you begin.

The kit contains

Step by step full colour instructions
Foxy orange wool
White wool
Black wool
A lollypop stick (you'll see why when you receive your kit!)
Two felting needles. One straight, one spiral
Black cotton thread and a sewing needle

Also included when you buy this needle felting kit - One month of free needle felting support, (but no more than 8 emails in total. Mrs Plop is over 200 years old, and when she's not felting, she does need her sleep ;0) ) in which you can contact Mrs Plop personally via email with any questions you may have about the kit, or your needle felting progress in general. The month's support begins from the date that your kit arrives, so you need to let me know when you have received it. Further details of the support service will be sent to you when you've made your purchase.

Please take great care with the needles in this kit as they are very sharp!

Needle Felted Little Drummer Mouse With Miniature Antique Drum

I love browsing in antique shops, and finding things that the mouselings would like. Recently I found this miniature antique drum and I had to buy it. I knew it wanted to belong to a mouse!

He is looking for a home, so if you would like him to come and live with you, you can find his listing here in my Etsy shop:  Needle Felted Little Drummer Mouse By Mrs Plop's Shoppe

Needle Felted Little Christmas Mouse

Finished today, needle felted little Christmas mouse with a sprig of red berries.

I used ethically produced Dorset Down brown wool fibre from Newmoor Barn Ethical Fibre Co. It has lovely red tones within it. The white is Ryleand wool, also from the same company. The brown colour felts so well, it almost felts itself. I absolutely love it. The red berries are glass.

If you want to give this little mouse a home for Christmas, you can find him here in my Etsy shop. Needle Felted Little Christmas Mouse By Mrs Plop's Shoppe

Love, as always,

Mrs Plop xx

Little Carmen Miranda Needle Felted Mouse Wearing A Tutti Frutti Fruit Hat Vintage Style

My latest needle felted creation. I hope you like her :) Love, Mrs Plop xx

This little mouse adores Carmen Miranda! She loves to play dress-up and she has been busy! She has gathered fruits and collected jewels, a few treasures that she found washed up on the beach from a shipwreck :) And with these she has made a tutti frutti fruit hat, just like her idol Carmen Miranda. The necklace she found is a little bit long across her little fat tummy, but she loves it anyway, and the tiny gold rings she's found are perfect as bangles.

She is completely OOAK (one of a kind) there will never be another one like her. 

She is for sale in my Etsy shop here: Little Carmen Miranda Mouse by Mrs Plop's Shoppe
