More Work on the Toy Repair

When I started work on my little elephant the mouth looked like this:


This morning after picking up some apricot colored wool roving from Weir Crafts I got down to work, starting by sewing shut the mouth were the stitching had started to unravel:


Some of the felt had deteriorated (which is probably why the stitching had come undone in the first place) and there were a couple of moth holes in the wool, so a new needle-felted mouth was definitely in order:


While I was at it I repaired the end of the trunk, which was the same color as the mouth:


Now that the mouth is done I'll try to figure out how to add stuffing to the middle of the trunk.
