I've decided to work my way through these big bags of wool I've amassed. It's really addictive. I find it even more satisfying than sculpting at the moment in the way that it's so tactile and you can see results really quickly. If I can balance this with my illustration and design work, as well as with my day job, I'll be a very happy lady.
Here's my project from the weekend, an unnamed stag.
Needlefelted red deer stag, merino wool & wire
He's the biggest needle felt critter I've made so far. I used a wire frame (which in retrospect was not thick enough wire, he's a bit of a tripod sometimes because the weight distribution is a bit off) with pipe cleaners which was a learning curve and also means he's fairly poseable. I love how much I'm learning from each project, it's really encouraging.
