This is a goblin doll I made inspired by a favourite children's book in the fifties. He stands almost six inches tall if you measure his hat as well.
He has been entirely needle-felted with no frame inside. He is firm enough to hold his shape but is still a little squidgy and nice to hold. He can stand unsupported.
Needle felting is a form of soft sculpture which is probably one of the slowest craft. A barbed needle is used to poke soft fleece and repeated stabbing makes the fibers tangle up enough to firm up and assume a shape. There is no sewing or glueing. It is laborious and time consuming but the result is satisfying.
This doll is one in a collection of storybook characters I have made. Others are in separate listings. If you order are interested in other characters you may send me a message.
This is an ornament for collection and not meant to be a toy. It should be kept away from very young children and pets.
The list price is for the Goblin doll only and includes air mail shipping.
