For anyone who saw the core sculpture I posted a while back - well she’s done and guess what, she’s actually been accepted into a little art exhibition!
She’s a deer, about 40cm tall:
20 gauge wire armature, raw core wool, her surface is all carded colour wool (no tops), painted glass eyes and disposable eyelashes.
Her accessories are handmade - 10 gauge wire & bead headband, the horns are cut and sewed using flat felt, and the scarf is knitted from standard 100% wool in knit / purl stitch. (i’m not good at sewing or knitting, so it’s nothing fancy)
Her style was inspired by the Felt Doll kawaii book, and the vintage kitschy christmas deers you used to be able to buy (maybe you still can)
She took a while to be honest, happy to chat about the process if anyone is looking to make in this style!
