Using your head

Today and all weekend, I'm working on finishing some stuff. I do have an art show coming up next month, you know! (The West End Studio Tour)

So I took a look around the studio and saw all these heads. One has a body begun, this guy above. I love his snooty look, so he may be destined to be another Marquis. He's needle felted.

This guy I made for a joke. You may recognise him. He's Gru, from the movie "Despicable Me." He may not get a body, perhaps just becoming a pin or brooch. Then he'll be a pin head! I like him though. He's been on my felting foam for a long time keeping me company.

This is a hobbit head. The first picture is the before. He's been sitting here, not quite pleasing me.

So, I grabbed him and adjusted the expression of his mouth. I'm happier with him now. So then, while using picmonkey to add my name to the photos, I saw this new game. How does he look now??

So I'd better get to work on making some bodies!! Have a great weekend, everyone!

Needle felt a dog or cat

My latest class is up and available for registration on A For Artistic. I've been working each week to get all the photos edited and inserted into the class notes.

I love making these cute mini cats and dogs. you might need one to accompany your favourite doll. You might want to make a portrait for your favourite dog or cat. In this class, I'll be showing you how to make a pet to scale, so your pet matches your doll's size. I'll be taking you through the needle felting process, plus how to detail the faces of dogs and cats.

It's going to be a lot of fun! Click the picture here on on the left to register!! I will also offer a kit for sale, which can be custom colored for your project!
