Yea! I'm very excited to present the finished JellyFish! Just to give you a brief description of what he is...
JellyFish - This sculpture is made of thin sheets of Nuno Felt with white Romney Wool & White Tulle. He was then needle felted over a stiff wire armature. He has glowing "El Wire" inside his tentacles that glows bright blue in dim light. The "El Wire" runs on 4 AA batteries & the controllers are stored inside a drawstring pouch that is sewn beneath the mess of tentacles at the bottom, which also helps create a stable base. Once sculpted he was airbrushed with fabric & acrylic paints.
I love how the photos in the dim light turned out!! I like how you can see how the "El Wire" really glows. So neat!! I really wanted to make something... pretty, or beautiful. I wanted it to be all flowy & pink. I am happy with how it turned out. I will be listing him in my Etsy shop at some point today.
We are an International Group of Artists who create wearable art by using the felting techniques, mainly wet felting and nuno-felting. The main goal of our team is to promote our members work and to share our knowledge of techniques, ideas and inspirations.

My Angler Fish...
I just wanted to share my newest Felted Sculpture with everybody. This fish is my biggest to date - about the size of 2 basketballs!! I wet and needle felted Romney wool over a basic foam base. Then I painted & sprayed his color on using WashFast ProChem dyes. He has a working blue LED light in his "fishing rod" with the battery pack hidden within his eye socket. I'm super excited & proud of this piece!! I documented the whole process (3 weeks worth) of making it on my blog:

Needle felted dollies
Hi All,
I wanted to share my recent journey into needle felt/ paper clay hybrid dolls :) I've been messing around for a while with needle felted dolls but was never quite satisfied with the results, then on Etsy I stumbled over BlackEyedSuzie and ran out to buy some paper clay!
None of them are quite finished yet, but you can get the gist, I've started a dolly blog and I'd love some feedback.
