This project took me over a week to finish but I'm very happy with it. I'm a tiny bit burnt out on needle felting now but I've got plenty of sewing projects to get done to take my mind off of it.
Here's the photo Ryan asked me to make into a christmas tree skirt. Initially I thought I would embroider it but that would have taken a year. So even though I'm fairly new to needle felting I decided to make it that way.
Here's the finished skirt. Maybe I should've used a different table cloth for these pictures. Blue on blue is hard to see. Oh well.
I couldn't find enough wool roving in all the colors I needed for this project so I spent a lot of time untwisting wool yarn and brushing it out with a baby hair brush to get a lot of these colors. Even so, I wish I had more shades of green and grey.
It was hard to make the eyes even. Maybe thatgets easier with practice?
Ever been so mad you choked a reindeer?
I felted Zoidberg's face tentacles separately and then attached them to give it a better texture. So realistic.
Wish I would have had more grey colors for bender. Oh well, he still came out nice I think.
Santa's gun was my favorite part of this project. Came out perfect.
That took way too long but I think it was worth it. Now on to the next item on my mountain of holiday sewing to complete. :-)
