So it’s been a while since I’ve been on here but I have a new hobby and need to post about it. Christmas has just passed here on the Coast and Dave and I had a lovely country Christmas and New Years. For part of my Christmas present, Dave got me all the things necessary for felting; a process where course felt is repeatedly stabbed with a tiny barbed needle which entangles the fibers and gives form to them. There area a lot of different techniques that I am still learning but here are some pictures of the work Dave and I have created over the holiday season.
One of these little guys made it to our New Years party as a hosting gift.
On this little guy I was trying to learn how to do angles and corners. He is only about 3.5 cm by 2 cm and I think this format would make for some nice magnets.
With little Eyeball here I wanted to make something really solid so I worked the form for a really long time to get a firm body. Then I attached an elastic and Dave and I like to fling him around
These were our fist attempts and I think they turned out pretty well. I especially like the eyes Dave put on this little red dude.
This is the emo unicorn… Inspired by a Halloween costume my mother made me when I was 5. I also felted in a magnet on the back so this guy lives on the fridge.
Here is one of Dave’s creatures… He called him Larry.
This guy is an Art Spiegelman inspired sheep.
