Fleur de lapin

I have been experimenting with felting lately. This pretty flower came from the fur of my Angora rabbit. I hand felted it with, of all things, felting needles. They are rather long needles with barbs on them. You take a bit of angora, lay it on a bristle brush and punch the needle into the fur over and over and over again. Actually it's a bit thereputic. Then I dyed the petals a pale shade of pink, and added a vintage earring for some bling. Voila!!!! A pretty in pink flower brooch. This is my fluffy bunny, Peter, who is worth his weight in fur.

He's not a bit camera shy. He insisted on a close up.

Here is another look!!!! By the way it's super soft.
