Oh? What's this...?

A little animal, on the grounds of my yard—!

Oh! I think I startled it! I've gotta be careful; that "spear" looks rather sharp—!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I needle-felted a tiny slugcat yesterday, and if you ask me, it came out SO cute! Below the cut are some more pictures of it to show off some angles and poses (featuring one of my felting needles as a "spear"):

This was actually my second attempt at making a pocket-sized generic/Survivor slugcat (fourth overall needle felted slugcat attempt), where I mainly tried to improve the proportions. Here are some comparison pictures with my first mini Survivor (left):

I hope you like this little guy — I certainly love it! And my hope is to someday needle felt all the main slugcats (plus maybe Nightcat and Enot). Some might be difficult (probably Gourmand and Saint), but I'm up to the challenge if it produces more adorable tiny wool friends!

Also, I've been trying to get back in the swing of needle-felting, so let me know if you would like to see more of it on this blog!

Saw someone else do this and literally jumped out of my seat because I realized I could make this for myself. Little goofed Ladybug keychain (minus the keychain cause I didn't have one atm.) Based off of @buggachat 's bakery enemy au. And good lord did this come out adorable. Thank you for your amazing artwork that spawned this little bobble.

Refrence for felt buddy. Art is by buggachat.

a werewolf known as Mother Tongue.

image description: photos of a needlefelt monster puppet made from wool and aluminum wire. it's a weird werewolf thing with two sections. the first section is a light blue furred wolf head with its maw yawning wide, showing the sky its purple ribbed mouth and wicked teeth. this wolf head walks on four legs, with eight teats and a tail. the oversized, upside down face glares down its snout with yellow eyes, which are framed by a purple border and shadowed with magenta. the second section is the great, abnormal, red tongue sticking out of the maw. it becomes a humanoid body, the legs of the body fused together with the great tongue. the upper body of the red tongue-humanoid is toned, with arms, large spidery hands, and a wolfish head, its small yellow eyes, also framed by a purple border and shadowed with magenta. you could say this creature is a tongue body that can sits in its large quadruped maw body, almost like if a deity and its throne, both built from aspects of wolves, were one entity of flesh and fur.

YEAR OF THE GRUB: JANUARY

Project: Needle Felting with Wire Armature

CRAFT STORE RUNS: 2

(The sleepy but patient Lt. for scale)

This year I started a Master's Degree program in Entomology. I wanted to make sure I was still making fun things while I'm so busy (mostly reading papers and books), so I arranged a set of media-based projects centered around my favorite insect (scarab grubs), trying to complete the project by the end of the month.

I didn't quite make it this time because I ran out of supplies a couple times and made the project a good deal harder for myself than I thought, but I think that's okay. This is just for me, after all.

STEP BY STEP:

First, I used sculpting wire and a pair of pliers to twist the skeleton of the grub. I wanted to be able to move all the legs and the main line of the body. I thought I'd be able to get an easier anchor in on the felt if I covered the hard wires with pipe cleaners, but I was pretty much wrong about that.

Next, I felted a bunch of spare roving into the general shape I wanted, and felted the head and the back end of the grub on in brown. I also hand-sewed six little socks to cover the wires on the legs and secured them as well as I could to the rest of the body so they won't fall off at random. This came out messier than I'd have liked, but I think also that I should cut myself some slack for having designed and patterned most of this on the fly.

Next came felting on the bulk of the fatty, cream colored body of the grub. Part of the reason I didn't end up making my deadline was that I ran out of white/off-white wool roving, and was unable to find it in stock at any stores, so I had to order it online and wait for it to arrive in the mail (it absolutely did and honestly, the new stuff from Shepswool.com is way softer than the wool I was using and a softer color, so it was well worth the wait).

From here, mainly all that was left was detail work. I didn't get a ton of photos of this because all these steps ended up being my Sunday (day of posting), but I used a finer wire, the same pliers, and super sculpey to make gently posable antennae, mandibles, a clypeus and labrum (as well as a pair of maxillae that absolutely did not show up in the end, just much too small), baked the clay on the wires and then affixed them to the existing framework I'd set up on the head for most of the face. The mandibles are attached to the antennae, so they move together, and the clypeus/labrum and maxillae are held on by the wires supporting the mandibles. I also glued on some cute little eyes that came standard with my felting gear.

All that was left at this point was final detail work-- I didn't feel like embroidering on a ton of hairs in the end, but I embroidered on some spiracles and felted those little sclerotized buts near the head.

And voila! A needle-felted beetle grub about the size of a small ferret. Wouldn't it be nice if we had more grubs around this size?

Further notes:

1) it's nice to be making something big enough for once while felting that I didn't stab my fingers constantly! I only stabbed myself like twice.

2) I bought a multi-needle felting tool for this, but I didn't really find it helped much beyond having a safety cover. It was also super noisy to work with, so I ended up going back to using a single felting needle halfway through.

Catch you at the end of this month, hopefully having completed my February project: WATERCOLOR ILLUSTRATION!

This is my largest piece to date, a sculpture called Inner Child that I made to participate in a pride festival art show. Making this was a deeply emotional experience, since often, keeping it steady while working made me entwine fingers with the life-sized hand.

Look! Over there!

It's another little creature!

And look... I think it recognizes the first!

Awww~! What a sweet reunion!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I'm back with another felted slugcat! Like I said, I think I'm going to try felting all the characters, and since I began with Survivor, it felt fitting I'd do their sibling next (especially since it'd be good practice for making colored slugcats)!

Other than the yellow hue and the happier-looking expression I gave it, it's pretty much the same as before:

ALSO...

Thank you SO, SO MUCH to everyone who showed support on my needle felted Survivor!!! I was hoping it'd turn out both cute and accurate to the official art, but I did NOT expect the sheer volume of love everyone sent its way (you guys made it my most-liked and most-reblogged post by FAR in just a few days)!

I always adore seeing people enjoy my art, so I hope you all continue to enjoy seeing the rest of the cast as they come out in woolen form! Until then, the scug siblings say thank you!
