More Needle Felting

Oh my goodness! I am in love with this new hobby! It’s quite time consuming, but aren’t all good hobbies? Ha!

Well, I decided to do a little Flickr search to find out what other people are creating with needle felting. I stumbled upon this woman who creates caricatures of people. These sculptures are absolutely amazing. Check them out here. Better yet, this amazing artist offers an online class on how to make these adorable creations.

Of course I signed up immediately, never expecting to be able to create anything so amazing myself. I was just really intrigued at how these thing were made and wanted to get some instruction. I thought I might be able to create some fun Christmas ornaments at the very least. Her instructions and video tutorials were so good that I was able to create a head in one night! I cannot wait to take the rest of the course to finish him up. For now, this is what I have…

You can see the face beginning to come out.

Patrick was a little freaked out by the head at this stage. HA!

Starting to look more like a doll.

Eyelids and ears have been added… almost done.

Hair and teeth… done!

Pretty cool, huh?? Can’t wait until the new wool comes in this week. I ordered the wrong color for the flesh tone, so he is a bit darker than I would have liked. I still think he is hilarious and I’m SUPER happy with the results!! What do you think?
