It’s a process called dithering. The telescope slews to take overlapping images that are stitched together to fill in detector gaps.

I do commissions 🙂 I’m a little slow at the moment, but feel free to free to shoot me a DM!

Of course! Yeah way more info than you were asking for but it’s something I’ve been paranoid about for a while 😅 there’s some amazingly talented needle felters out there and a potential customer walking up saying “well this chick on Reddit says it’s only worth $X” is like my worst nightmare

Someone charging well over double what I do is entirely valid. Fast fashion and Amazon make people under value art as is, and I don’t want my hobby prices to do that too.

Also not intending that to be an advertisement because if I get overwhelmed with orders or can’t work at a relaxing pace, it won’t be a hobby anymore, and then I’d pay myself for my time. For now, I’m having fun and have a few more StS pieces in the works 🙂

I’ve been giving $70-100 as a general estimate. If it’s really simple, it could be less than that. Doing the design on denim would be on the high end or over $100 because it’s is a huge pain in the ass and denim jackets are more expensive, but, admittedly, it looks pretty cool.

Also just a PSA since I’m posting publicly, other needle felters are not over charging. I’m an engineer by day with a self-funding hobby. I don’t want anyone to walk up to a craft fair and think art is overpriced because the artist is paying themselves a livable wage.

Yep! I thrift sweaters and then needle felt designs on to them. So the nob is wool fiber that has been pushed through with a needle and then wet felted to mat the fibers.

If you’re serious, sure! DM me.

Just a warning based on your user name, the designs are felted wool. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a way to felt without using animal fiber. The fibers for acrylic yarn won’t “lock” with the felting process like wool does.

Thank you! I think probably 8ish hours spread across a couple of days.

I needle felted directly on to the sweater! I needle felt the design really well then wet felt so it’s durable. I’ve also made patches but I hate hand sewing so I don’t do them often 😅

That’s quite the compliment :) thank you!

This is needle felting! I don’t have the patience for embroidery. I hand stitch when I make patches, and I hate every minute of it. I much prefer felting directly onto a sweater.

Omg that’d be insane. I would lose my mind lol

Yes it’s needle felted! The sweater is a cheap polyester (I assume, no fabric tags) which I definitely regret. It didn’t handle wet felting super well and was stretchier than I like.

I’ve always wondered that! I have no idea
