closeups of my needlefelted fursuit head! She is merino wool over upholstery foam. I really wanted to achieve a “handmade doll” look with her while keeping the general head shape super realistic so she always reads as a cat. The big ribbon hides where she sits on my shoulders and the illusion is pretty good! I am excited to be her many more times.

i needle felted myself a davepeta!!!! ⭐💚🧡

they are fully poseable and really really cute!!!! there is some wonkiness here and there but overall i am really happy with the project

i have been really fixated on davepetasprite for the past year or so and started working on this as a side project to chip away at while i wasnt busy. it was my first time needle felting but i feel like i learned a lot of valuable experience about the subject, plus davepeta is in real life now!!! :)

happyyyy!!!! :D ⭐⭐⭐

#davepeta #davepetasprite #homestuck #fanart #needlefelt #one of their arms broke at the shoulder joint during the photoshoot so i have to redo it lawl #but i think im pretty happy with anything else so when i replace it it will be considered a finished project

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.

Hello! this will be a quick process post so that you can see how I needlefelted a fursuit head!

I began by following the "bucket head" tutorial by Matrices, then added a layer of polyfill so that I wouldn't use as much of my merino wool. This is how I typically make a doll head, my "core wool" is often polyfill because it really likes to clump together and fuse.

Overall, this project took about two months of my spare time. This is the first fursuit head I have made, but not my first needlefelt project.

I would really like to encourage other people to try making masks this way! You can do any kind of subtle color with wool and the wool fiber is very cheap. If you wanted to make a fursuit head with the entirety of starry night flowing over it, or a head with tons and tons of complex colors, I think wool might be the best material. I also did not need to know how to pattern or sew in order to make this-- it was sculpture rather than sewing, which I am bad at.

The rest under the cut!

Another angle where you can see that I am building up the structure of the head.

I then made the ears, which are translucent because they're felted, just like real ears!

I wasn't happy yet with the proportions at this point, so I spent a lot of time figuring that out and deciding where and how I'd be placing the eyes.

I made a pair of sculpey follow-me eyes by using a little soy sauce dish as a concave circular mold and tried a foam clay nose and teeth. The sculpey eyes could be more successful, they took a lot of shaving and adjusting to get right and they eventually cracked from the strain I'd put them through while making them more shallow. For a while, I intended to make wefts of white wool to use on the sides of the head, but I ended up preferring a domestic shorthair head shape because it reads the most clearly as a cat vs any other animal.

I originally intended to have the eyes behind clear plastic domes and used "shaker domes" that people use to make greeting cards to cover the eye, but in the end they made the eyes too dull. I made foam clay housing for the eyes and painted it pink with acrylic paint. I used stick-on car window tint to create the pupils. My visibility inside the head is really good!

Finally, after fiddling, one of the eyes was deeper than the other and I had to re-set both to account for it. I added spot glitter on top of the acrylic paint on the eye using some gold watercolor paint I had, which was silly because I'll need to wash the head at some point. I will probably seal the eyes before washing and hope for the best. I intend to spot clean the head until it absolutely needs to be washed, at which point I'll remove some pieces or find a way to protect them while soaking the head in a cool dr. bronner's bath.

I glued down a layer of felt fiber on top of the foam clay "tear ducts" and then felted new fiber over the tear duct skin and cheeks to blend them into the face. I also removed the teeth and closed her mouth because I didn't have time to adjust the teeth as much as I wanted before the con that my friends and I attended. I would like to modify this head so that she can open and close her mouth.

Lastly, I added wire whiskers with little glass beads looped onto the ends and paper eyelashes that I also watercolored and sealed, like the insides of the eyes. Like I said before, it's gonna be a problematic wash, but I'm confident I'll figure it out, and I can always repair her or replace her lashes if something goes wrong.

Last thing, to keep the inside of the head nice and cool and prevent fogging since in the end I closed the mouth and had sealed eyes, I made a snorkel out of a snorkel mouthpiece fitted into two collapsible auto funnels.

I would say that realistically this entire project cost me less than $150. I had some materials lying around, like the wire and the beads and the sculpey.

I added two ear vents on either side of the head so that I had options on where to feed the snorkel out. If you look at the other pictures on the blog of me wearing the head, you mostly can't even see the snorkel mouth. However, it was a little problematic to let go of the snorkel to talk. it would be perfect for a silent suiter, but I'm lucky that so many people wanted to talk to me. I'd like to try and replace the snorkel mouth with something I can talk in, but I'm not sure what to use. It should be something that can create a seal to keep my breath out of the head. it's possible that I will be able to make something with a painter's mask.

I hid the "seam" between the head and my body with two yards of tulle tied into a big bow and sewn down onto the neck so that it wouldn't move around.

I hope that if you try making something similar you'll show it to me!
