Dragons and wyverns and things with wings/legs/glass eyes all look nice, but they are a pain in the butt to make. Sometimes I just want to felt and relax without it being exhausting. When that happens, I make pokemon.

Dragonair is made entirely out of colored wools, except for a wire run down her middle that makes her gently posable. She also has an apoxie sculpt horn painted in acrylics and coated in matte gel (i.e. a varnish). She's approximately 16 inches long and is super fun to pose! I like the serpentine body type. Maybe I'll do more.

Needle felting, to summarize briefly, is a technique used to create what are essentially 'wool sculptures'. There's no sewing involved; instead, by punching the raw wool thousands of times with special barbed needles, you transform it into felt, and can control the shape of the felt.

Before you ask, yes, that's a corn snake in the fourth picture. His name is Jasper. He probably wants me to stop putting pokemon in his tank.

Materials: Wool, felting needles, wire, needle nose pliers, apoxie sculpt, acrylic, matte varnish.

Dragonair and all other pokemon are copyright to Gamefreak and Nintendo. I just make things out of wool. (Gotta catch 'em all, Pokemon!)

FUCK DEVIANT ART.
Post your art somewhere else. You and your artwork deserve more respect.
Also, Deviant Art protects pornographic pictures. In response to my concern about that, I got suspended. Deviant Art, you're one fucked up website.

It'll depend on how the next couple of months go...at the moment I'm out of the country with no felting supplies! ^_^; Whenever I have a long stretch at home I start felting again.
