here are some of my early experiments....
I love that felt is so forgiving.












This wolf was remade 3 times. I learned a lot about types of wool. like not to use superwash. it wasn't labeled as that but since it is so smooth and hard to felt i figure it must be.















I also learned about armatures and how important it is to wrap them in pipecleaners down to the toes.
I had to cut him open and add the pipe cleaners and re wrap him. That is what convinced me that the reason I liked felting so much is because it is like clay sculpture and taxidermy combined. i really enjoyed taxidermy in college.


this is my next sculpture it will be a panther.
