NEPTUNE is the King of the Swamps - an LARGE Alligator with a million Instagram followers - not because he's beautiful or clever (not traits normally associated with the species!!) but because he's the only 'Croc' ever to be seen parading through Florida in vintage jewellery, carrying an ancient purse, a silver plate fruit fork (for heavens sake!!) and wearing a black string hat - no one has ever seen the like!!!! His aim is to stand out in a crowd and I think you'll agree - he's succeeded buy - how SILLY does he look!!!!! The last three photos show him with his family (wife and two croclets) - who - frankly - try to disown him when he is looking at his most ridiculous!!
NEPTUNE is BIG - 12 inches tall and 4 inches wide (30x10cm). He has an extremely strong wire skeleton so that you can have hours of enjoyment posing him!!
All my animals are entirely handmade and it takes many, many happy hours of loving 'stabbing' with needles and wool to create each little individual character - no two are ever remotely the same - I often feel they make themselves!!!! I prefer to create Naïve, Quirky, Fun little 'Felties' over anything realistic - letting my imagination run wild is such fun!!

My sculptures are intended as decorative display items rather than toys, the nature of their construction means they are slightly fragile. I'm afraid they are not suitable for young children. Each of my little creatures is an entirely unique work of art!!
My 'creatures' have been featured in a 'comic book' article in the June 2018 Arts Issue of Cotswold Life Magazine - a five page feature article in 'Discover Dolls' Magazine in the February 2020 Issue and also in the Spring 2020 Edition of 'Needle Felt' Magazine - both of which can be seen 'under' my reviews!!
