I needle felted this leaping Hare from wools and wool batting.  I felted him around a wire armature and attached him to his driftwood plinth, leaning forward, poised, ready to carry on running across the field.  I blended the colours to make his coat and tail realistic and added horse hair whiskers to his face.  The length of the whole piece is 6 and a half inches (16 cms)  Height is 7 and a half inches (19 cms)  He is permanently attached to his lovely, dark, driftwood plainth.  Needle felting is a slow, methodical but satisfying process!  He is an ideal gift that will adorn a desk, a shelf, an office.  He is not a toy to be played with.
