Charlie the felted lamb

This is "Charlie" my felted lamb. He's my latest felted project. He is made from Shetland wool (from my own sweet sheep) that was hand-spun. The yarn used for the face, ears, and hooves was hand-dyed to match the coloring of the real Charlie.....the sweet sheep from whom the wool for this project came from. This "Charlie" is approximately 8" high......9" long.....and 14 1/2" around (he's a tubby little thing!!). He has button eyes and a velvet bow/collar.....and a small bit of needle-sculpting for his nose and mouth (which is hard to see in the picture, but looks real cute).

Here is a picture of the real Charlie. His wool is a lovely oatmeal color and very soft to the touch. Charlie's horns never did grow in like they should have. He's still a sweet thing and loves being loved on.
