Felted Snow Leopard in Art Auction

The first All Sorts Acre wool product is finally out there! Snow Leopard Trust is an organization that studies and protects the endangered snow leopard. This work also involves community partnerships to improve life for the local people. the snow leopard lives in the Himalayan mountains along with the Mongolian people. Felt is one of the staple products of the area which was what inspired me to use our own wool. 

We don't have a white sheep yet, so I had to buy that, but the body and padding of my little snow leopard is all from Itchy. Much of the black wool used is from Scratchy. It was really amazing to use our own wool to make my little leopard. I will just have to make another one as he is SOOO cute!
