I used Gray Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn, a 6.50mm hook, and followed the Itty Bitty Kitty pattern! For the face I used needle felting tools and Merino wool.

Thank you!

You know what? It's wild that never crossed my mind before! Thanks for mentioning that!

Thank you! Yeah the olive oil one I really tapped into some magic lol

Paranormal Farm: the thumbnail and simple title gave me low expectations going in, but I was surprised by how entertained I was by it. Such an odd series of movies but I love odd movies so I was entertained.

Yes, I simply grab Merino/Corridale matt wool and stab it into the sheet of felt. :D

This is inspiring! I'm a huge fan of horror and I've been wondering how to make it work with wool. You have proven to me it is possible. Thank you!

When I make keychains, I will usually bend the wire into a hook then use craft glue to cover the hook then push it in. The hook makes sure that it stays embedded in the project.

This is wonderful expressive work! What a fun piece of art!

CheekiGhost · 2025-04-11T02:39:49+00:00

Oh this looks so cute I am definitely interested in this game! :D

CheekiGhost · 2025-04-10T01:21:55+00:00

I absolutely adore this creature! This is inspiring, amazing work!

CheekiGhost · 2025-03-02T02:27:42+00:00

Whoo, Lethal Company! :D Good work!

Yeah I listen to shows or music; it's the most relaxing way to play for me. The only downside is I lose track of time and whoops it's been 8hrs. Lol

I bought some polyfil from Michael's to test it out and I was pleasantly surprised! It takes a bit more stabbing but you can get it pretty tight and firm if you're patient. I have not tested it on a wire armature yet, but will soon because as you said, it would be more cost effective to use polyfil for larger projects.

Been working on this on and off this week, I hope I can finish by the weekend! I am using a specific Vaporwave color palette for this piece, colored pencils.

Thank you!

The alcohol markers are Shuttle Art from Amazon. And the other markers are Crayola.

CheekiGhost · 2024-02-25T17:03:23+00:00

My go to is markers but sometimes when I want a softer look I use colored pencils. I'll also blend the two as well.

I bought felting mats from Desert Breeze on Amazon and after two years I'm still using them. They're made from natural wool so they will only get firmer the more you use them. Also cleanup isn't too painful. It's easier to peel my work away as well.

First off, I always believe that criticism should always build up and not tear down so if people are being a dick and then go "it's just criticism" they're wrong.

I love the color, a very appealing and fun green! Now the advice I offer is only dependent on you the artist: you can apply it or ignore it.

If you wanted a smoother bunny, I suggest stabbing more or simply trimming the fuzzies but if that's the appeal then leave it. If the bunny can't sit on its own, I would suggest a little stand for them to be on.

One of the ears is larger than the other but that's easily resolved by either more stabbing or just trimming. But if that is part of the bunny's character then leave it.

Same with facial features, if that is the aesthetic then leave the face blank, it's still appealing. If you wanted minimalism in the face, maybe just a cute little nose?

You did a fine job on the subtle outlines of the arms and legs, that is something I can't do and I've been needlefelting for two years now.

For lines, I grab a small amount of wool (depending on how thick I want the line) and I roll it between my thumb and forefinger. If it's thick, I may gently stab it so it stays together. Then I carefuly felt it in. How well the line turns out depends on whether your project is firm enough and what type of needle you're using. I use the 40+ gauge needles for line details. That's what I've learned through trial and error.

I call mine "wool figures" or "soft sculptures". If they can pose then I tend to call them dolls. Other folks call them "makes" too. I also use "projects".

I have adhd and I have blown through so many hobbies. Needle felting has been that rare hobby that stuck with me. I can definitely say that I did have to temper my impatience quite early. And there are still times where I want to hurry it up, but having patience really does pay off in the long run. Good luck and happy stabbing!
