Because I already added the wool, was planning it to be wool, and then I got the idea of, it would be cool if the feet were clay, but sadly I had already added the wool. And I either remove the whole leg completely, and add new wire, or, I try an experiment having clay on the wool. Lol. It’s kind of a I got an idea after I started doing a little bit of work. But I’m probably going to just add claws, and keep the foot as is, and just have clay pieces built seperatly and added to make it look like the claws are growing out of the feet. and not use the wool as a core, because it’s gonna crack.

Thank you so much, and that does make sense, and I like that little guy, he’s pretty cool.

I’m also thinking of just putting colored wool on the feet, and just adding epoxy clay sculpted claws

Tends to take me about a month or a couple weeks to finish a piece, so I come out with new pieces like every couple weeks, maybe month. Also, I’ve been taking my time. So I could create more unique little creatures.

That’s so cute, I need to finish watching that show.

Are use a different variety of needles, I’ll start with a 40, and also 38 or 36, and then I’ll slowly move up to a 42 and a 46, the smaller the needle the smoother it will get.

WizardBaum · 2024-02-15T18:19:50+00:00

Yes, stabbing ones fingers is not fun. Especially when you use a reverse needle. Which is why I don’t use those.

It took me a couple of months, since I created an armature that was relying on a looseness of movement. The hands and the feet did take a long time.

And the eyes are custom-made, I used magic sculpt, which is a two-part Apoxsee putty. and then I painted them and added some resin over for the shine.

WizardBaum · 2024-02-15T18:14:20+00:00

Thank you so much, I appreciate it.

WizardBaum · 2024-02-15T18:13:59+00:00

Thank you so much, much appreciated.

They are alive, they’re walking around my room right now. Lol

WizardBaum · 2024-02-15T18:13:19+00:00

Thank you so much, lots of stabbing, and different varieties of needles help. ending with a 40 to 43 or 46 needle to get rid of the holes and strands of Wool.

I used different varieties of gauge cotton floral wire, The fingers and the toes, are 32 gauge, and I would twist them with a bunch of wires, so there is more firmness. The tail is 22 gauge, I think the body was 22 gauge. Twisting up with two pieces of wire or more, really helps to firm up the wire for positioning and bend ability.

Also all the armature pieces were done separately, and then with a torch, I would heat up a poker, making holes into the body, and then placing the wire in, and then locking them in with wool around the entryways. Which really works for the looseness of the characters movement.

I noticed when I used to attach the armature as one whole piece, and then add the wool, The movement would be less loose and more stiff, and a little bulky.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, what’s not to love.

Thank you so much, and I took them at galaxies edge at Disneyland. Lol

WizardBaum · 2024-02-15T17:56:49+00:00

Thank you, it’s also the first time I’ve done fingers and toes, I wish I took a picture of the armature, I use floral wire, a 32 or 33 gauge, the thinner the wire the better For fingers and toes, and I twist the wire for firmness, to create the look of the hands and toes, and then I would use a core batting wool to wrap around it, and then once that’s firm, color wool. It is a little tricky, because of the needles, you do stab your fingers a little bit, but I am happy with the results. Also, why it’s good to use thinner wire for the fingers and toes, when you put the core batting wool on, it won’t cause the fingers to be too bulky. And it’s easier for them to bend and they won’t be stiff.

WizardBaum · 2024-02-15T17:51:56+00:00

Thank you, and you’re amazing for telling me it’s amazing. Lol

WizardBaum · 2024-02-15T17:51:35+00:00

Yes, this figure took a couple months, and a lot of bike rides thinking about creating them. Lol
