Day one of felting....
That was about 3/4 hours of brushing ironing and stabbing. I got in a nice felting kit, and a new slicker brush that are making this go faster. The leather finger/thumb covers have saved me from repeated stabbings (stab count 1 so far).
Day... um I forget 3 maybe? Tons more brushing and stabing and brushing, and more stabbing.
As seen from above, I am felting from the tail tip up towards the face. My felting needle has spear'd a few of the sequins causing them to burst in half and fly at my face.
I am almost out of brushed yarn to felt so I am stopping here. I will need to measure out more yarn loop it on one of my sticks to brush it out and flat iron it smooth.
Yes I am using disposable chopsticks to secure the yarn to for brushing and flat ironing so far it holds up well and keeps my fingers away from the really hot flat iron (burns so far 0).
Sorry for the messy work space pic's, my desk tops black laqaurd top pealed off and I havednt finished making it look arty with scribbles, or sealed it against water/liquid. BUT thats a project for an other day.
