Autumn Owl

I have just finished my first custom order. I hope she likes it.

I have been needle felting on and off for nearly over a year now and I have either donated my work to the school craft stall or given them way as pressies. This is the first time I'll be actually making money from my craft. I meant to do this for her over a month ago. I have kind of been procrastinating. I had a little fear that it might not be what she wanted. I just had to push my fear aside and just get on with it... and here she is - Autumn Owl.

I love owls and I thought the branch needed a bird on it. The owl is made with mulberry silk. The eyes and beak are wool. I love the colour of the red wool on the doll's dress - I used up the last of it. I'm going to have to dye some more wool.
