Description Dolphin Earings! I usually try to steer clear of marine life for my work, since I have no way to really make them float or appear to defy gravity the way things in the water are meant to do, and while I can sculpt it, it usually doesn't give me anywhere to have them rest of bake either. Which makes me really happy these worked out, and gives me a way to explore. We'll see how well these do at Fan Expo this year, and maybe I will make more. They're based on a little plastic toy I had as a kid that I thought was really pretty. I googled 'yellow sided dolphin' to get the pattern, but cannot find my reference image now, unfortunately. If it shows up later, I will link it in.

If you are interested in my work, or would like to commission me, please feel free to note me.

Thanks so much! Not bad for my first time with cetaceans, I figure.

I once made a needle felted orca whale for a friend of mine who loves all sea creatures (whales, dolphins, sharks, turtles, fish...)

Of course! When I gave it to her, she started to squeal with joy!

Then I consider the dolphins a rousing success.

These are so cute!!

Can you make them any smaller? I would totally get a pair of custom Hourglass Dolphin ones if you could make them smaller. (I can't wear heavy earrings )

I can certainly try. My roommate informs me that they aren't particularily heavy as is, sculpey drys very, very light, and there's not much to them, but I can attempt smaller if you'd like them a certain size.

And thank you.
