Dukie for Ellie

So I completed my duckie for Ellie and sent it off. It was a bit bigger than I had intended, but it came out pretty nice I think.

I used the modified Heidi Bear 'Blue Bird of Happiness' Pattern. I enjoyed doing the African flowers as i hadn't got round to trying them out before. I had been thinking of using them in my granny square blanket but that project got away from me a little bit. Who knows next time I take on a blanket again I might use them.

So anyway here is the duck in question I left it for Ellie to name.

I made felt fairy wings, rather than duck wings to which I added some flower embellishments  

The Crown and beak are both felt. The crown was pre-decorated felt but I added the red stars. I cut a pair of false eyelashes and added them to make her look more feminine. I know it's pink and flowery already, but it still had a male feel to it.  So I also made a small necklace. 

She does have little felt feet also, but I forgot to take a picture of them. 

 This sort of shows you the scale, and that she is quite big.




Happy Crafting people
