Now that this giraffe has been delivered to its new home, I can share the final pics! 🦒

This project took a lot of time (not including my fear-of-failure-induced-procrastination). 😮‍💨 Somewhere between 40-50 hours between armature, base body buildup, and final work. BUT! It’s finished!

I managed to get the base and armature done on my own but ended up following a pattern from Fuzzie Fiber Art for the coloring and finishing touches! So thankful she made a pattern!! You can find it on her Etsy page if you’re thinking of trying one yourself! Thank you, Fuzzie! 💜

It’s somewhere between 14-16” tall (yes I forgot to measure so I’m guessing but it’s tall, y’all!) and has actual giraffe tail hair (ethically sourced) in the tail! Did you know their tail hair feels like nylon guitar strings? It’s so strange!

I learned a LOT from this sculpt. And I don’t think I’ll be making anymore anytime soon though. 😂 Maybe when I have another forty hours. 😂

Working on it helped me mentally and it feels so good to finish something. Thanks for reading and following. Have a lovely Sunday! 💜

“Have you given up on needle felting?”

It would seem like it, wouldn’t it?

But no, I haven’t! 😊

If you’ve been around here a while, you know our year has been chaotic and unexpected events have been the things that kept my attention elsewhere.

Dealing with all that resulted from these things has also been all-encompassing mentally and physically. I’ve not had the time or the mental energy to do my favorite hobby. But little by little I have worked on things here and there. I finished a raccoon and have been working on a giraffe for a long while (too long tbh 😅).

It’s all coming along - life, felting, adjusting to a new family dynamic. God has been good to me. I look forward to finishing some projects in the near future and beginning some new ones.

Hopefully, I will get better at filming but we all know I kinda stink at that. Even now I have forgotten to film the entire leg portions of this giraffe. 💀 All I can give you is a photo of my progress. 🫠

I know, it’s been too long. In August, we started our 13th year of homeschooling, we sent three of our children back to college, one was going for the first time. I’ve been so busy and unable to sit down for long at my table. I also forgot to film when I did some recent work on the giraffe sculpture. 💀 But! I did manage to make a lovely little word garland for a lovely family that housed my daughter for part of the summer while she worked in Tennessee. So I did accomplish something creative. 😂

I’ve watched a lot of felters and their videos. I’ve tried to follow some tutorials and been frustrated when simple, nonproprietary things are gatekept. Sadly, this is the culture in almost any craft and while I understand people have to make a living and develop their own styles and skills that can be and should be paid for, some have thought a little too highly of themselves in my opinion. But sometimes someone comes along and doesn’t overprice their tutorials, is helpful, has great videos, and encourages other felters. Fuzzie Fiber Art is that felter. She has an Etsy shop with pdfs and a YouTube channel. If you’re interested at all in needlefelting check her out!

Recently a family friend gave me some raw wool to experiment with! I’m wearing a mask and gloves because I tend to be reactive to hay. There’s some of that in there for sure. This was the initial picking. I went on to wash and dry it. I still have to do the final combing/brushing but I’m excited to see what it can become!

Part 12 of the obvious sculpt! This was a long tedious part of the tutorial so I had to speed it WAAAAY up (10x) to squash it down to 2 minutes 15 seconds. Anyway, this raccoon is almost finished! I’ve enjoyed this tutorial by Fuzzie Fiber Art! 🦝

Part 11! Our mystery sculpt gets some ears! I am following a tutorial from Fuzzie Fiber Art on YT!
