Care and Keeping:
Needle-felted works are very sturdy in many ways, but quite delicate in others! Please read on to find out how to keep your new piece in the best condition possible.
Spot clean only, please!
Washing machines will cause irreparable changes to the fibers.
Be wary of pets!
Many a good art doll has been mailed in for repairs after being snagged by a dog or cat.
Best if kept away from backpacks, dirt, etc
While it looks like a toy, this is a soft sculpture and is not meant to be excessively handled.
Not intended for small children
Rough play will fuzz up the fibers, and the marbles inside present a choking hazard if released.
