What's This?

Needlefelt lil' Ahkhahna just fund an interesting mushroom growing on a stump in my backyard. She wonders what kind of mushroom it is...

For lil' Ahkahna I used quite a few different colors of roving - including a color called "Dafodil" for her belly and ears. Her eyes are individually-set blue glass-beads, and her wings have been felted over a wire armature so they are gently poseable*.

It took me about eight hours to make her.

*I know that Ahkahna's creations - the Taschevah - technically keep their wings in a pouch while they're young'uns, but I wanted to try this technique of making wings and since I was already working on this it seemed like a good place to practice.
