Needle Felted Sculptures.
One of the most amazing things about Needle Felting is the very simple materials that are required to create a sculpture. All that is needed is some core wool, a sponge pad, a few different needles and some wire for the armatures.
Before too long something magical happens! Here’s my process…..
- First I make a basic shape – in this case a rabbit- using wire and pipe cleaners for armatures. Then I start to wrap the armatures with core wool and needle it into shape. Once the facial features are created I can start to see who’s waiting to be born.
Clearly this little guy is in need of something to wear!
- So here he is, all decked out in a beautiful coat with tails and a few accessories. Look at the change in this guys attitude!
Here are a few of my other creations.
Joseph and Friend
This sculpture started out with the idea of creating a snail. Soon it became apparent that he needed a friend, and his rider was born. When I found this lovely piece of wood it became their perch. A few flowers and some “moss” and soon there is a story waiting to be told………
This is Firefly
She is a lovely baby dragon with a sweet disposition and a gift for getting up to mischief.
How could you not LOVE this face?!
