Needle Felted Elf Sitting on a Toadstool

This is by far one of my favourite creations, ever!

I just love everything about him. He's a large (ish) figure at approximately 12 inches. 
Needle felted over a handmade wire armature, his hat and his boots are wet felted & I added some shoe laces using embroidery thread.

His napsack is needle felted and I've used a little wooden stick for him to hold it with.

I am really proud of this piece, and was absolutely elated that he sold last week at my first ever craft fair!

Introducing my Forest Folk Collection!

Hello!!

It's been so long since I posted, I hardly know where to begin. I think, rather than try to post everything that I've made these last 9 months, I think I'll just pick up right where I am now.
I've had such an amazing year in terms of needle felting & I feel that I have progressed a lot even in these last few months.
I've been concentrating on faces just lately, as these were something that I always used to shy away from (because I could never get them right). But then I found an amazing tutorial on YouTube (By the wonderful Sarafina Fiber Arts) on how to properly construct faces when needle felting & suddenly it all made sense.

So I've been making 'People' or 'Forest Folk' to be more exact!

Here are some of my latest creations.....

This is a needle felted Witch. She is needle felted over a wire armature & has a wet felted hat. She carries a real wooden staff.

This next one is a Wizard, Forest Man, Gandalf type creation. Again, he is needle felted over a wire armature with a removable wet felted hat, decorated with curly locks.

Lastly, I have made a Troll/Ogre. He is my largest ever creation, standing at 30cm tall! He is needle felted over wire armature & his robes are made from a mixture of wet and needle felted fibers.

You can find these, along with my other creations over in my Etsy SHop
