Beginning needlefelting.... Photos

Ok, please bare in mind that I have not been taught to needle felt.....other than being told to 'stab' and keep on stabbing lol.

First, I made a bunny;



Then, I made two collies from the flyball team. The eyes haven't been done yet, I am hoping for some glass ones!

Collie one, seen here:





Collie two: seen here





Together



They're totally terrible but its a start. My poor index finger has turned into a pin cushon!

Well done, trust me they are way better than my first efforts
Just keep on challanging yourself and I cant wait to see what you come up with next
Give me a yell if you need any help (although you are doing great) I have a couple of tutorials on my blog - but to be honest we all find our own way there is no right and wrong

Quite proud of my effort today! This one is alot more sturdy..... I spent so long on the detail (the black is done using real dog fur as we dont have black! The fur is from the second collie too! )

Here she is in real life:

Oh wow, I think they are fab
I was watching Kirstie Alsop do a Robin on her show & all that "stabbing" looks so much fun.
Here is Tilly's "mini me" made by Ben Mcfuzzlugs






I didn't know you could actually make them from real dog fur! I could send you a whole bag of Tilly fur the amount she is shedding at the moment for a life size clone
