60s Style Needle Felted Deer

I used 100 % wool for this little guy. I began with plain white because I figured it was the most plentiful of the colours I had.

I added an outer layer of the orange/brown colour and added the white spots....also ears and a tail.



In the end I gave him "Bambi" style eyes at the suggestion of my daughter. So there he is.

The Wonderfully Talented Edward Bernard

I was test uploading these images, and I was going to take them down, but then I figured I'd leave them up. Ladies and gentlemen, Druckfarben's Ed Bernard!!!! Musician extraordinaire!

Another Needle Felted Miniature

This time........by special request from my daughter, I made a little Chipmunk. Here he is sitting on my WACOM tablet by my computer.


His eyes are tiny black glass beads.

First Needle Felting Projects

For my very first needle felting project, I decided to go with something very simple that I am familiar with.....the Ookpik.

I put him next to the original Ookpik I made many years ago out of sheepskin.

This evening, I was inspired to make another miniature animal using the needle felting technique.......a tiny skunk!

Genuine Sealskin Ookpik

I did it! I made an Ookpik out of an old sealskin jacket!!! I'll be making more....until the whole coat is used up! But this is my first one.

Blood Relatives

This was my Great Great Grandfather on my mother's side.
I believe the woman to the far right was my Great Great Grandmother, and the woman on the left was my Great Grandmother
Here is my Great Grandmother holding my Grandmother

Here is my Grandmother, and her husband, my Grandfather

And then my Grandmother, Mother, Grandfather and Aunt

New Years Day

New Years Day spent with my blood relatives! Interestingly, being blood related doesn't make you necessarily get along with your relatives, but I'm really lucky, because there's a very strong genetic bond that runs through our family. We're all very creative. We're either craftspeople, artists, or actors. It's so strong that it even runs right through to the younger ones!

My daughter draws non-stop, and my son is a budding film maker! Jacqui's children are always creating too!
