Soap Art ~ Meet "Bubbles"!


I thought I had finished my very first, needle-felted, SHEEP SOAP.  However, now that I've seen the photos, I think I will add eyes and a nose/mouth. 


 I am, however, pretty pleased with "Bubbles"!  She's the first, needle-felted, soap art that I have done and I think she is adorable.  There's no "pattern" ~ I just made her up as I went along.


She is 100% natural ~ all Shetland Wool and homemade Goat Milk Soap!


I had so much fun making her.


Once she has her eyes, nose and mouth, Bubbles will be available for purchase in my "Sheep Hugs & Soap Suds" on-line store.


I'm thinkin' I'll price her at $15.00

DREAM says...


"Fifteen dollars for a Shetland Sheep?  How embarrassing!  What I want to know is how Mom got that soap inside of Bubbles...? "

It was magic, Dreamer.
Pure Magic!

  4. I think you used the sheep in your new logo as a model! I predict you're going to be a busy little bee, keeping those stocked in your shop. ;-)

  9. Thank you guys! I've started a list for orders. That way first come will be first served!

    Bubbles took me about 3 hours ~ so I guess I'm making $5/hour. ;-) But I'm making it while I'm home, watching TV!!!

    Oh, Nancy! I wish I'd known! I'd have borrowed a car and driven you!

    I had to postpone the movers until Thursday. Argh. I just want the move done and the house cleaned out before my back gives in. The pain is now coming through the Vicoden and Tramadol, the muscle relaxant, plus the neural blocker (isn't blocking much these days) and the arthritis medicine. Of course, as my ex pointed out, in his unique way of support, "Gee, imagine how much pain you'd be in if you weren't taking all of the prescription grade medicines!" Um, yeah. Thanks for that. You always did know just what to say....

  13. Nancy - they are super adorable. I would also like 3 of them - oh - and a calender - are you going to do calenders again? I really miss the Shetland sheep calenders (not that I don't have 30 of them in my back yard - but that doesn't matter).

  14. I put you down for three, Tammy. Maybe I will do a Calendar again, now that I have a store. I'll try to put some photos together this week and maybe have a poll as to which ones to use...

    Thank you for being such a loyal friend to Bluff Country Shetlands and A Shepherd's Voice!
