Snow friend sitting there looking cute,
Stand amongst my wintery loot.
Bring your joy into my home
Surely my eyes will never roam!

This fantastically cute woodland snow friend is 100% handmade by me, by needle felting wool roving mixed with sparkle fiber together with a special barbed needle. Using fluffy wool fiber, the barbed needle acts to bring the wool fibers together and create a solid form. Countless hours go into making each needle felted piece; a labor of love to create. After creating the snowman, he received sewn on antique buttons, a warm muff made from repurposed wool scraps and a wonderful acorn cap glittered with “snow.” He is perched upon a special wood slice covered with glittery “snow” nestled amongst a wee grove of snowy bottle brush trees. He’s utterly charming.

He measures approximately 5” tall, and the base is approximately 3.5" in circumference. Note: I just have the Natural Snow Friend available, pictured in PHOTO 2. All other snow friend sculptures have sold. Please note: this piece is an art doll, and meant to be handled with love and care. Not suitable for child's play.
