Needle Felted Iberian Lynx

Needle felting is an artform that allows one to sculpt with wool. It involves poking clumps of wool with a barbed needle which catches the fibers and causes them to entangle and hook together. The more you poke the clump of wool the more entangled the fibers get, causing the wool to shrink and increase in density. This is made possible by the fact that wool fibers have microscopic scales that will hook onto other fibers.
This is a time-lapse video showing the creation of an Iberian Lynx. The Iberian Lynx bears the distinction of being the worlds most endangered species of cat. Today there are just over 400 individuals remaining in the wild.

Gorgeous work, it’s such a shame that this beautiful species of cat may not be around for future generations

@Kendall Lewis it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass !

[@doves1pellegrino199]

I don't think they want to teach us....Its a beautiful piece of art. If everyone knows how to make them, it wouldn't be such a niche market. Which I kinda agree.

[@i_bleed_makeup1187]

Felting is WAY more popular than you think!!

[@MummyCookie123]

I have had the great fortune to have done a kyoshi workshop. He was more than happy to share skills and I learnt so many different things. The info is there if you need it

[@DjMakurimaru]

It's easy but time consuming. If you put in 1000 hours in practice and have any natural talent you can do this. I picked it up in 40 days at master craft level. I might be genetically different because I'm from krypton though. Jk

[@dobegirl101]

[@lacywings]

Brings tears just watching you create this beautiful piece (and your other work as well). Thank you so much for sharing your talent...simply incredible!

[@MsOscara]

It is amazing to watch this Lynx come to life right before my eyes! You do such beautiful work, Kiyoshi!

[@IAMGiftbearer]

Wow! That Lynx is so realistic! Your process for adding the fur at the end was a great tip to show the way it comes out from the roots!

[@judipodgurski5083]

Such an amazing and beautiful piece of work ! I think this is more work than taxidermy, but at least nothing had to die for it. Lovely job. Thanks for the video. xoxo

[@bluerose11]

If you want to actually see what the artist is doing. Click on the settings gear, then click on speed and select the .5 setting. This slows it down to half speed. I sculpt in all kids of mediums but this one I just get to watch. Too bad I am allergic to wool. This is beautiful work. Thank you.

[@evelinabirak4645]

*To all those asking for a tutorial*: I am not saying this is the same for Kiyoshi Mino, but when I needle felt, I usually just do it from my mind. I don't write down steps, memorize it or anything, and usually make it up as I go. Plus, filming a tutorial for this multi-hour project would be a lot of work and stress. So, if anyone was wondering, I was just saying to kind of give people possible reasons for this. Also, I would like to note that this Iberian Lynx that you made is something that I strive to be able to do one day. I appreciate all the time and effort that you have put into it. - :)

[@kiyoshimino]

Thank you so much! Yes I am the same way as when it comes to my process. I do however make video tutorials through curiousmondo.com but they are not free. It takes months of prep work on my part and a lot of work from the staff at Curious Mondo as well.

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

I am the same, just doing my own thing but I do like to watch these for hints. You can learn at least one good thing from every video. Some people are in a different class to the rest of us though. This person is an artist. Simply hours of work. Try watching Sarafina or Woolly Wednesday by Living Felt for free tutorials.

луч Елисеев this isn't a tutorial. It's a time lapse showing the entire process. There's a massive difference between the two, if you want a tutorial you literally need to type in the word "TUTORIAL"....

Why show the whole process, if so badly and quickly?

Just play it on 0.25x speed

[@joannab7299]

луч Елисеев because it would be many hours long

[@ranafroggie]

Some people learn a lot from a time lapse. There's a lot to be gathered from this video. Something I've noticed is that time lapse videos are mostly useful to someone who's already somewhat experienced in the video's subject. It's more of a quick way to learn new/more advanced techniques, and to quickly see the entire process, so you're able to understand how it all works together.
