Felted Brown Deer | Pink Dress & Bowl of Berries

Meet the Felted Brown Deer dressed in her lovely Pink Dress and carrying a Bowl of Berries, a charming woodland hostess who's clearly prepared something special for forest teatime. This delightfully whimsical handcrafted figure features a golden-tan deer with gracefully branching antlers, dressed in a soft lavender-pink frock with a clever white apron pocket, standing proudly on sturdy little boots while cradling a bowl brimming with bright orange berries. Whether presiding over a mantel as a year-round woodland accent, joining a collection of artisan treasures, or gracing a nature table during seasonal celebrations, this artisan-made treasure proves that sometimes the most memorable companions are the ones who remind us that sharing what we've gathered is the truest form of abundance.

Each item is handmade of 100% wool from New Zealand through the ancient technique of felt making. By adding warm soapy water to wool and then pressing and rubbing, the fibers will tighten into a felted textile material. Gradually, as the fibers are tightening together, the items are shaped into their final form - flower, heart, bird, etc. Once it is dried, it is ready for its final embellishments.
