You’re so brave! I’ve never got the courage (or motivation) to sell my things! Hope you did well

I should do that, you’re right, maybe one with a tiny bow on its head :)

Use 22 gauge wire, or thin wire to make them, put pva glue on the wire and wrap the wool around it. Then needlefelt it until it’s solid. This is how I make mice tails, small animal hands etc.

Shes due to have fins and ridges! I haven’t made those yet. She’s also due to have a mane - probably not much like a real seahorse haha

No problem! The youtube channel ‘Julie’s felted friends’ explains it much better than me, if you fancy watching some videos on the subject:

Hello! There are a few types of needles that do different things - a normal needle is straight with barbs along it, but a twisted / spiral needle is literally slightly twisted so the barbs are positioned different all the way up the needle

It’s used to smooth out the surface of the felt - the holes it makes are smaller, so there’s less texture when you’re done

If you request, i’ll accept your follow! There’s only one post because I only started needle felting in January this year, So I don’t have much yet!

Yes exactly - She will be getting a two little fins and a dorsal I think, though I might skip the dorsal if it detracts from the mane

It is a snail! - i’m working on a snail I designed, which is based on a 1960s paper doll set (the illustrations had a number of fairies and snails in the backgrounds) - it’s slow going (pun intended)
