And a #staberDay post for the first time in a while. I week or so ago I finished up with felting this tiny shoe as a gift for my mother, it's in the mail to her now.
Today I started on my next #needlefelting project, which is my first one that I think needs an armature!

Now, up 'till this point, if I've been working on a gift for someone on fedi, I've been not sharing photos..

This one is based on artwork from a #fediArtist and I intend to send it to them, if they decide they want it. ..I'm not gonna name them yet though, as they don't know this is happening.

I'll keep taking photos as things progress, maybe one of y'all can guess who's work I'm bringing into 3D! lol I've gotten a bit of wool on it. A long way still to go, how it currently looks makes me think of how mummies look in halloween decorations!

All the limbs covered! #staberDay (I know it's Sunday now, but I haven't gone to bed yet so nyah) #needlefelting
It's always fascinating to me just how compact the wool gets when I'm working with it. Here' a pic with the wool I'm adding just wrapped around the piece, and then after I've felted it in. I haven't even felted it that tightly, I'm intentionally letting things bulk up a bit before I really get them felted tightly.
3rd photo is from the other direction, after I've bulked out one of the legs a bit more. Now it's time for a snack.

Ok, so it's time to wind down for the night..

But first- a butt.
