I was so excited when a recent client commissioned a sheep portrait for his daughter. What fun to create a wolly pet out of wool – i’m feeling some kind of “circle of life” song may be applicable here….
I had a great time felting this little “Oxford” sheep, though her wool came from local Wensleydales. She’s all boxed up and on her way to Canada this morning. What do you think the real sheep would think of this little reproduction? Not much, probably.
Cute as a wolly button, if you ask me! I loved working on this sheep so much, i added a “custom sheep” listing to my Etsy shop. If you know a sheep farmer, fiber enthusiast or other lover of lambs- you’ve found your next epic gift item! If you happen to sheep obsessed yourself, go ahead and splurge! You won’t regret it. 
What animal are you hoping to see bound into my Etsy shop?
Your work is amazing! So life like and charming. Absolutely gorgeous!
Oh man, I really love that sheep!

Not on topic but fiber oriented. Was at an estate sale in Austin, Texas, today off Slaughter lane and Alcott today and saw an older spinning wheel. Thought of you and your spinning adventures.
Oh my gosh! I was just hopping through pet blogs when I saw this. I think felting sheep knees and butts might be your life calling. This figure has so much charm!
