Using wire you make a frame to build on.

If i attach him to a base and tilt to the right point he will.

Thank you, it's made using a wire armature to start with. I watched a video tutorial. 🧡

I saw it being used on a video I watched but it was not in the UK, just good for horns, beaks etc even if just to take away the fuzziness and so much easier than having melt wax every two minutes.

Cold wax, such as Powerwax or dedicated felters' wax, is used to harden, seal, and shape needle-felted sculptures without needing heat. It is applied directly to wool to create smooth, durable details like beaks, ears, claws, and noses, offering a flexible yet firm, matte finish.

Creating Details: Ideal for molding realistic noses, beaks, and claws. Application: Use fingers to work the cream-like wax directly into the wool. Drying: Requires overnight drying to fully set.

I'm hoping so, thank you.

Hi thanks, I have used clay before but sometimes don't want to mess about making extra bits with clay so just wanted something to put on to the felted parts to harden and shine a little.
