Walter – Needlefelted Dog and Carved Print

walterprintblog 

I like to use my drawings and doodles for inspiration for my mohair and wool critters.  Here is a carved print “A Day with Walter” that I did from a drawing.  This became the inspiration for a needle-felted dog, Walter.  I decided to needlefelt him because I wanted to add the surface design Walter has in the print.

Here is the needlefelted version of Walter made with wool fiber.  He is 2 1/4″ tall and 3″ long.  He has glass eyes and an inner wire armature.  He has details of needle-felted colored wool.  I hand colored his head and body to give him a pale peachy color.

Walter and his carved print are now available as a set in my Etsy shop.
