Description
This workshop is for those looking to build on their existing skills or an enthusiastic beginner. We will be making a 2D picture of either a fox or a hare using various types of coloured wool. The hare is flat 2D felting with lots of colour blending and layers, the fox is a combination of flat felting and long fur techniques with lots of trimming to achieve a realistic colour blended coat. Please remember that felting is a forgiving craft and mistakes can be easily removed it is mindful and enjoyable.
We will also look at several ways of creating realistic whiskers using thread, glue and paint brush bristles.
We will begin by transferring the pattern to the felt using a heat transfer pen. We will then look at eyes and noses and the colours used and a practise if required, followed by blending and colour mixing of wool. We will also look and discuss how to achieve the longer fur on the fox.
Finally, we will look at whiskers and how to attach them, also framing the piece.
I will supply wool, felt, needles and foam blocks as follows, if required:
Foam block £3.00
Felt for background, coloured wool, needles and patterns £12.00.
I will have thread glue and bristles for whiskers
