BoBo Just Loves To Ski - New OOAK Handmade Needle Felted Snowman Art Doll


BoBo Just Loves To Ski - 14" Needle Felted Handmade OOAK Snowman Art Doll

BoBo just loves to ski and is so excited because the forecast this weekend is for a Nor'easter. That means tons and tons of snow. And, that means unlimited skiing opportunities. For him winter means skiing and ski all winter long he does.


BoBo's inner body is fully bendable and is sculpted out of Sunflower's alpaca roving from Rock Garden Alpacas Fiber.  His outer body, legs, arms, head, and pant cuffs are also needle sculpted from Sunflower's alpaca roving from Rock Garden Alpacas Fiber.  His cheeks are blushed with a pink chalk and his carrot nose needle felted from orange roving. His black boots, black gloves, black coal buttons, eyes, and facial features were made using black alpaca roving from Rock Garden Alpacas Fiber. His gray pants were needle felted from carded batts from Rock Garden Alpacas Fiber. Teal blue roving has been needle felted to form his billowy scarf and felted around his neck.


BoBo's black hat is handmade and hand sewn from black felt. His light teal vest is handmade and hand sewn from light teal blue wool. It is embroidered and gathered with teal blue DMC embroidery floss running stitches.

BoBo is holding his favorite pair of wooden ski's and ski poles. He's sitting atop an upside down wooden bucket that has been sponge painted with white, gray, and blue colors.

BoBo is eager to get skiing this weekend and hopes the weathermen are tight in their predictions. If there's a blizzard you'll find BoBo out skiing in it.
