Thanks! I think it's the natural wool that makes him look good, though. I love that stuff.

is the armature made of wire or something else? i am learning how to use foil under my sculpture and somehow i dont see that being very useful in a felt sculpture. X3

I tend to use cushion foam or pipe insulation because it won't break the needle if I hit it through the wool. And for legs and other "load bearing" parts, I use pipe cleaners or aluminum wire. Those you do have to be careful when you're felting around them.

The shading on the horns is really nicely done!

Thanks! They kind of looked like uncooked shrimp before I attached them. ^_^ They look much better on.

He's one of my favorites out of the group that I just did. ^_^ First time using the natural, non-dyed, minimally processed wool. It's got a good texture that's really easy to felt with.
