Matlock the Hare

More recently I have created two hare puppets, for authors Jacqui and Phil Lovesey, for their series of books about ‘Matlock The Hare’. ‘Matlock’ and ‘Ursula’ are two of the main characters from the books, and I worked from the wonderful book illustrations, to bring them to life. I also created their ‘familiars’.

These hares were needle felted, using British wool fibres, and have been used in publicity shots and videos. They have magnets in their paws, so they can pick up items, and have animation wire skeleton frames, so they can be posed. I loved this commission! www.matlockthehare.com

“We commissioned Lise, after seeing her stunning work, to create two felt hares, based on the characters from our illustrated books. We were especially pleased with the results, that managed to capture both their individual characters, yet still remain very recognisably as near-perfect hares. A difficult task, but beautifully done! Many thanks, Lise, you were a joy to work with, and your wonderful creations now help to promote our business across all our social media accounts.”
