I am making some progress. I refelted the cut diamonds
They are now in a bag waiting for me to work on the diamond project.
I did more work on sheep and shepherdess.
Jan made me a wire shape or the shepherdess for me. Then I wrapped it in some waste wool and used a felt ball for the head. than wrapped that in Corriedale.
Once I added wool it was not stable enough to stand. So I asked Jan about adding a piece of wire front and back to stabilizers. so she took it and started working on it. We added a ball in the bottom but then I decided she was too tall for the sheep I was making, and she cut the ball in half and squashed her down. Jan added a snail tail that stabilises her well. It will be covered by her cloak.
I have been putting sheep together. I make the parts separately. Long snake to cut into leggings and ovals for heads. I made some flat pieces in the 3 colours for the ears. I cut them out but I want to felt them some more.
After I add the ears to the sheep I will add the curls like the orange sheep on the right. I also need to make some clothes for the shepherdess. I think she will be a brunette but I don’t think she will get a face.
Lastly for today, is why felting small things and holding them with your fingers and talking to people is not a good combination.
