beavers2.jpgOne of my brothers asked me to make him a needle felted Mama & Baby Beaver. When he said he wanted them to be "life size" I almost fell off my chair..lol.. So...a lot of wool & 2 weeks of poking...I finally got them done. What a challenge!!!!!!

Very nice Charlotte.  I can only imagine how tired your hands must have been after making two life-sized beavers.

Thank you very much Judi & Tami!

They are firmly felted & took a huge amount of core wool. I didn't have any problem with my hand or wrist, which was surprising, but I did make sure to take a break about every hour & do some stretching exercises.
