Following my visit to Fanø , I wanted to make little dogs in embroidered fabric in the spirit of Staffordshire porcelain . I have chosen some pretty fabrics (French Jouy toile, French Provençal fabric, navy cotton, polka dot and star cotton) and drew the pattern for my creatures. The eyes, ears, tail and nose are made from colorful felt. They are glued and embroidered with cotton thread. A few pretty buttons are sewn on the tail. I added beads for the nose and eyes. The finishing touch: a necklace of glass beads and a silver-plated brass chain. The front and back of the dog are embroidered together and the whole dog is stuffed by recycled polyester. And VOILA, a few hours later my cute little critters are finished. Find them in my creative shop: cocoflower.net
