Dynia my little Pumpkin Fairy Bear!!!

First I have to give some credit to a dear woman who's been a big inspiration to me and pushing me to make my babies the best that they can be! www.shellylampshireoriginals.com Think outside the box when making your next doll, bear, friend etc. Mixing media isn't a new technique but it was something I had trouble with and Shelly has some excellent tutorials to help you with the process. So with that being said I would like to introduce you to Dynia my little Pumpkin Fairy Bear.  I had purchased some Fairy Tale Pumpkin felting wool from www.livingfelt.com and just knew I would have to make a bear with it once it arrived. I love fantasy and am constantly trying to come up with ways to depict my love for both needle felting animals and whimsy. Dynia stands at 4" tall and is felted over a wire armature. Sitting she sits at 2 3/4" tall with hand painted eyes and nose, then sealed to give her eyes that moist look. She is adorned with wings, bells, yarn and feathers. I hand painted a pumpkin decoration, then flocked it in areas, applied orange glitter and made some felted leaves that also incorporate some of Dynia's colors. I hope you like her! Please feel free to leave comments, I would love to hear from you!
