teddy bear

I thought,( having got the needle felted hummingbird out of my system), that I'd return to the large ceramic sculptural works in progress...but I just couldn't resist the temptation to create this little fellow !.    He measures a mere 4 ins, with jointed limbs.  

Needle felted Hummingbird

 

Here's a project that I wanted to share; It took me hours and hours and hours !..but having never done 3d needle felting before; I was quite chuffed with the final outcome. Due to not having much green wool....I used a bit of 'artistic license'...colour pink !...and some blue...then some purple. I didn't have any brown wool, so blended some black with very dark maroon.  The exercise was good practice for shaping / layering and blending. The finished piece measures 6ins approx.
