Needle Felted Moon Gazing Hare

A moon gazing brown hare sitting on a grass covered base has been created using a needle felting technique. A barbed felting needle is used to bind a sculpt core woollen fibres into shape. A top coat in appropriate colours is then added to thhe body and legs, ears and a bob tail added. The feet and legs have been formed by wrapping wool over wire to add strength and stability. The eyes are needle felted and horsehair whiskers have been added. The hare has been mounted on an oval shaped piece of plywood covered in artificial grass.

This hare measures approximately 17cm tall with the oval base measuring 15cm x 9cm.

This is an ornamental sculpture, and is not intended as a toy.
