Needle Felted Colourful Artist Bear with Patches

This is Patches, though technically not with my usual Scottish theme, sometimes you just have to go where your creativity takes you and that’s what I did here! Made in Scotland by my own fair hands. 🥰

He has been made with the needle felting technique and many hours have gone into his creation. Felting is done with a special needle that has barbs on it, and with time, patience, some fluffy wool - and a lot of stabbing - shapes are formed.

This Bear is made with merino wool, and has black onyx bead eyes. Please note, this bear is not jointed so his head and limbs can’t be moved into different positions, he is as he is. 💜

Please note that my Needle Felted sculptures are not safe to be played with by children due to their small parts, but if the child is responsible, or perhaps if kept out of reach, they look wonderful displayed on a bedroom shelf!
