My Li’l Elton John doll was SO FUN to bring to life in needle felted wool. Even his li’l glasses are made of wool – I didn’t even have to use wire. My proudest accomplishment is the lenses – they are wool, they are felted and you can see his eyes through them. I just love his flashy, flamboyant li’l personality.

I used undyed wool batting for his core body parts. His flesh layer and most of his wardrobe. is norwegian c1 wool batting. For his glasses, hat boots and white blouse, I used merino prefelt.

Anything is possible with needle felted wool. Just ask li'l Elton John

A couple of work-in-progress shots. It is fun to see the tufts of fluffy wool taking such shape.

Li’l Conan was so welcoming to the new member of the li’l Felt Alive cast. The new Elton John doll really had a blast joining the crew.
