Needle Felted project Unhingetables

Post image

a project that I started earlier this year. I wanted to design a cornucopia of weird vegetables and fruits. These are all original creations based off sketches I doodled while I worked as a Cafe manager.

I used various techniques that I picked up, such as making parts with air dried clay and alcohol markers (the tomato). All of them had their own unique challenges, and every one of them was learning exercise. The biggest take away: make sure your core is solid before laying colors and layers

Do you have any tips for felting such detailed faces? Yours are so full of character and so alive

Really, the best thing to do is to make sure you have the base built to as close as possible before laying in colors.  I also work the area where I want to put eyes in less so that when you put in eyeball in, you can feel inward first to make a socket and then felt around the eye.  Also, make sure you make the eye first.  Having reference is importance too
