Needle Felted Green Man - Part 1

[@MzShon84]

You're doing such an amazing job with this. I just started needle felting and you've opened up my imagination and inspired me so much. I'm looking forward to seeing the final results. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much! I've started adding color to it, so hopefully can put an update up soon! This is one of the biggest pieces I have done so far 😊

Could you give how much wool was used?

[@Starmagnolias]

Oh gosh... at least several ounces, but I couldn't tell you beyond that since I don't really buy pre-dyed wool anymore (which would allow me to better estimate how much I needed). I had to dye up some more in the middle of the project when I ran out of what all I had on hand. With it being a relief, the quantities needed would be quite a bit more than for a flat wool painting. I'd say at least 2 times as much depending on how much you want your art to pop off the surface, possibly more if you felt densely (as I tend to do).

@@michellesonger303 thank you!

I definitely want to do this. Thanks for sharing. Probably will go for a smaller size though.

[@Starmagnolias]

go for it! I'll have the rest of the videos up soon (hopefully) - just need to edit them down lol

What do you have under the wool to punch the needle into ? Love this .

I use a soy based foam 😊
