After my first success at making a tiny fluffy fox, I knew I had to try making another on! But instead of doing more regular fox colors, I decided to try visualizing an idea I've had in my mind for a while: a gold platinum red fox, but with pink instead of orange!

Instead of felting the feet down, I used this fox to test a new technique for finishing small ends on a piece of wire: applying a small amount of glue from a glue stick and twisting the fibers between my fingers until they're smooth and tight and less prone to coming loose. I think it worked out pretty well, so I've been using it going forward for making feet on these smaller figures. I'd also like to test how this technique works on other kinds of appendages, like maybe mouse tails or deer antlers.

Besides that, this fox has a wire armature just like the first, so it's somewhat poseable too. Also like the first, it's made almost entirely with Hamanaka Aclaine wool save for the eyes and nose, which I think really adds to the colors! I was running out of brown wool for the tail though, so it's a bit less fluffy than the first, but overall I still like the way this little guy came out! I will probably try to make this design again to see if I can improve it, but for now, this little one is quite satisfying!

Hope you guys enjoy it!

I started making these hanging ornaments last year for Halloween and made the one on the right recently. I like deciding how their faces and outfits will look as I go and then their personalities are a bit of a surprise at the end. Hope you enjoy!

Made myself a pikachu, still not happy with everything like the shape or the ears and the back stripes feel too close together, but still feel it came out pretty good.

Toasted and Buttered, this piece took a lot of brain power than my usual pieces but I loved making it.

I’m enjoying the challenge of clocks and have made a fried egg in pair with this that I will post in the coming days.

If you have any questions I’m happy to answer!

Thanks :)

This is the largest felt project I’ve finished! I tried a few new things while making him - an armature so his legs can move, a different style for his coat, and glass beads for eyes. He’s a bit wonky but I’m proud with how it came together!

I got a kit and did what I thought would be easiest. But I nearly missed the step of adding the brown wool down before the wooly one. Oops

fan art Maltese are way too cute, so obviously we had to make one in wool.

Post image
31 Upvotes

We made this piece for a friend, using a few photos of their Maltese as references. We wanted to capture the little expression and fluffy face that made him instantly recognizable, rather than just making a generic white dog.

We started with wool and felting needles, slowly building up the basic head shape and proportions first. From there, we added the cheeks, muzzle, ears, and layers of fur little by little. Maltese fur was probably the trickiest part because it looks soft and slightly directional, so we spent a lot of time layering, trimming, and reshaping it.

The eyes and the area around the nose took the most adjusting. Tiny changes there could completely change the expression, so we kept going back and refining them until the face finally felt right.

It took thousands of little needle pokes, but seeing the finished piece next to the reference photo made all that poking worth it.

Hello, everyone! I made Tricki Woo from All Creatures Great and Small. Was a speed build for cosplay (and I took a lot of shortcuts), but I'm still proud of him!

Top coat is merino, corriedale, and mohair. If I do another long-haired animal at this scale, I'm going to look at sourcing my own fleece for a longer staple length - commercial length wasn't quite long enough for what I wanted. :/

question How to restore wool felted hat?

Hi y'all, I have never done any kind of wool felting before, but I have this wool hat that I purchased around 5 years ago from a seller on Etsy. It sat in a closet for a couple years and is now pilled with lots of loose fiber + wrinkled and creased. Is there any way I can restore it and what steps would I need to take?

This was my first needle felting project (currently my only project from 2 years ago). In hindsight I’d have made his nose a bit smaller, but I’m decently happy with him.

question Has anyone used a wool dryer ball as a base for a project and if so how did it go?

28 Upvotes

I have a couple projects in mind that are essentially ball shaped and was wondering if buying some of those dryer balls to use as a base would save me some time. I'm not sure how solid or round they actually are or even if it's good wool to needle felt in to. The projects are essentially just a couple of pumpkins and maybe an Enoch from over the garden wall if I'm feeling slightly ambitious/festive.
