Felted bunny gets ready for the big day - part 4

I have been needling on the bunny and today there are new pictures again.
I made the tights and then i worked on the eyes.
First you see the amount of fluff i used for each side
051a
Then i needled on one side and folded the fluff together and then needled the other side and folded the fluff to the middle also and needled it together. Then i did the same one more time in the middle to make it smaller.

058a059a
060a061a
Last photo shows you the finished size after all the folding :D
Now to the needling and compressing :
062a
Then i needled them a bit into a curve
063a
Next i tagged it lightly around the eye
064a
And started to needle it all down
065a067a068a069a
Next i did some rolling of fluff for the lower legs
070a073a
072a074a
Looking if they are the right size :
075a
Ok … that looks ok, now needling them down and compressing
076a077a
One was a bit bigger then the other, so i wrapped a tiny bit of fluff around the smaller one.
And needled them onto the body
078a079a
080a081a
Next was a bit more fluff - longer then the feet that is…
to make the upper arms. Worked them into the bending like shown in the Russian blog
and attaching them to the body.
I also made a little blob for the tail and needled it into place
082a083a084a
085a086a
Then i made some fluff flat for the ears
087a089a
Working at a steep angle with the finest needle i made a nice surface
At the same time i changed the rounding into a more pointed tip - i didn't think right here.
092a091a
090a
And here it is :D nearly finished the little bunny
093a094a096a
All i need to do now, is the finishing of the surface with the fine needle, and then a bit of colour.
This will happen in the next couple of days :)
