Ducky Needlefelted Pincushion

Description

Fans of ducks and general cuteness will love to use this handcrafted pincushion. It started as wool roving, a bit of ribbon, and a repurposed metal container. Through the process of needlefelting and imagination, it has been sculpted into this functional and adorable piece.

The duck is securely felted to his perch and gladly holds needles and pins for those who sew, quilt or just need a place to put those pointy things. It can also be used as pure decoration.

The pincushion stands about 2¼” tall and 2” across (5.5 x 5cm), It is fun to use and is a unique addition to any needlecrafter’s tools. The pins shown are included, but are removable. This is not a toy and should not be given to children.

Needlefelting is a process by which wool fibers are tangled with each other by poking the wool hundreds of times with a special needle that has tiny barbs on it. The fibers are manipulated by the needle to sculpt forms. Various colors and pieces are attached using the barbed needle as well, and different techniques can result in dense forms or loose airy ones.

This listing is for one pincushion shown in the first picture, along with the alternate views. Pictures that include other items are for comparison only.
