I found these adorable little chickees while browsing on Etsy. They are the creation of Bossy’s Feltworks, and are sold alongside many other cozy-looking farm animals in the guise of pin cushions and mobiles. I love the naturally dyed wool that this felter uses, particularly the sunny yellow of this little chick. I also like the idea of an all-natural hand-made child’s toy, and have thought of attempting something like it myself. A chubby carrot or a fuzzy broccoli has definite cuteness potential. While the toys are a great idea, they are probably best suited for children who have outgrown their toy-chewing stage. They need gentle love!

I think that these little chicks would probably be fairly straight forward to make, but it is their simplicity that makes them so friendly and cuddly looking. This felter has a lovely, smooth technique, and I love the stitched details around the beak and eyes. Thank-you for this adorable addition to the felting world, Bossy Felts!
