What do you think, I will post pics tomorrow but for now I have managed to upload them to my fb page for all such things made and fun

They are sculptures and although as realistic as I could make them off my imagination, they are more an impression of the breeds. I loved doing the shelti (will do more and coronets) and the abby.

And I managed to stick a needle through my finger doing the dalmation :( it really hurt too
 
These are really cute! A friend of mine in New Zealand does similar (not bunnies though) and brings two for my granddaughters every time she visits. They have quite a collection going. One girl has recently become enamoured of bunnies after seeing photos on this forum - she has never seen a bunny in her life as none in Queensland allowed. Might be time to add knitted bunnies to her collection!

thank you, finger is sore but not too bad. Needlefelting requires stabbing really quickly with razor sharp tiny needles - the width of sewing needles pretty much, I dont use a handle to hold them as I prefer them as they are to do my work and I have poked a finger before but this was the first time I actually went right in the finger :)>>> but it was thankfully just the tip of the finger, still its not the first time I have stuck things in my fingers and wont be the last either rolleyes
