Timbers Is Almost Done

(sorry for the blank spots in the lower posts. They are where my Etsy Badges usually are, but because I have set Etsy to vacation mode the pics won't show up....see you in 10days
In the mean time if you want to see what is currantly available can see pics of the items in the shop on my web site at
www.motivatedmotion.com)




A certain someone will be getting this cute replica of their pet in the mail quite soon.
I am done the basic miniature but I will spend a few more hours defining some details on the face and legs, but she is basically done.


So far she has taken 30hrs of needle felting to get her to this point.





I am toying with what to do with her eyes. I have amber eyes and brown eyes and I keep switching them, as I am trying to resemble that liver on liver the best I can.

I am not so bent up about it though as it seems like a minor concern :)












I hope you like her.
She won't be for sale in the shop, but I will use her pic in the shop to represent a commissioned piece option. She is a miniature Tufted Needle Felted piece that is a replica of a real pet.

UPDATE:

I finished Timbers now. I didn't do too much to her, but I did change her eyes a bit and made her neck and main more pronounced which aged her.

New Items Huge Deals!

I HAVE A DEAL FOR YOU!
I PROMISE TO HAVE MANY ITEMS WITH FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE, ONLY THE COLLECTIBLE NEEDLE FELTING ITEMS WILL HAVE A SHIPPING COST BECAUSE I SEND THEM WITH INSURANCE AND TRACKING.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS FREE SHIPPING!

DO YOU WANT TO GET YOUR NEEDLE FELTED COLLECTIBLES WITH SHIPPING AS LOW AS $1.00 OR $2.00 INSTEAD OF $14.00? THEN READ BELOW TO SEE HOW YOU CAN GET HUGE SAVINGS BY BEING SNEAKY!

For my SNEAKY SALE I have made some items FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE!
I know this is very non-conventional, but it is really designed for the smart shopper.

I will stand behind what I say the postal costs are for each individual item. And for the smart shopper depending on how they create their multiple order they may get amazing savings on shipping cost for multiple items and they could get a real awesome bonus by getting an insured post item way cheaper than their individual shipping cost. So please think about what your first item is.....If its shipping cost is zero dollars then your second item will only be the cost it is to ship as a second piece(which could be as low as one dollar, which on the miniature collectibles is a huge savings of up to $14.00 on one item!)
(I will always send the items that are to be insured as an insured item because they are collectibles. I will absorb the postal costs when you order in the SNEAKY way!)
I hope I have not been too cryptic about the deals.
Any questions? Please contact me through Etsy conversations before you order if you are confused.

I just added several of my new 2009 scarf collection designs to my Hand Knit section. Have a look at these amazing colours and textures! All the scarfs are FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE ITEMS!

Miniature Needle Felted Wedding Cake

I am heading to a bridal shower today for my second cousin.
I thought I would build her a needle felted wedding cake.
This is my first miniature Wedding Cake but it won't be my last. I intend to make Miniature Wedding Cakes one of my feature commissioned work options to customers.
Here are the photos of my first miniature wedding cake. It is made of shetland white roving, and a selection of tussah silk roving for all the colourful bits.
