Flibbteenie Lou. Needle felted figure. Oil spill hotsell rainbow pinafore and scarf. 11" tall.

This listing is for Lou Flibbteenie.
There are three Flibbteenies in total. Gin, Lou and Cherrie.

The Flibbteenies are younger members of the Fibweaver family (Peter and Flibbertigibbet).
They are covered in ‘oil spill'. The deep black of their pinafore dresses and head scarves have the rainbow of colours that can be seen on an oil slick all over them. Their plaits help identify them, that along with their thick ‘woolly' tights. Lou has blue tights and mainly blue plaits, and sparkly buckles on her Mary Jane shoes. She is NOT a toy for children. She is meant to be looked at and not played with, unless of course her new owner is careful and gentle and loves her. Then she is the perfect gift.

Cherrie has long eye-lashes, grey/purple eyes and lots of freckles. Her pinafore has 2 straps that cross over at the back, the skirt is a full circle and when opened looks beautiful, showing off the rainbow oil hotsell spill colours. She has 4 plaits (blue / dark blue / purple, purple / blue / yellow / pink, green / blue / yellow and pink / green / orange / red). She has over long arms, and 4 fingers on each hand. Her tights are on inside out, with the label tucked into the seam, they are also wrinkly, Nora Batty style. She is free standing and can also sit cross-legged or with her feet swinging over a shelf. Very pretty and delicate. She is approx 11" tall.

Needle felted items do change over time, friction will cause more felting to happen. Beautiful. The kind of gift you want to keep for yourself…
