Needle felted portraits and more!

I love the look of needle felting but I've never really been brave enough to give it a try until recently. So here are my initial practice pieces that I finished up a few weeks ago. I've got a big piece that I'll be posting later this week that I'm sure you'll love so don't forget to follow my blog or like me on facebook, k? Here you go:

Started small. A ball. If I can make a ball then I can make more complicated shapes, right? Like I said, this is practice. 

Next I made a puppy! He's a little cartoon-ish but I still like him. Maybe someday I'll be able to make those hyper-realistic animals I see on the interwebs. 
I like the idea of mixed media felting and sequin art. Shiney and soft! Not liking the sequin eyes though. Super creepy. 
Rainbow sequin afro cat. Groovy. 
This was a request. I tried to do some slightly more complicated color blending and shading. I think it came out nice. 
My boyfriends favorite: tiny mounted elephant head. I stabbed my fingers quite a bit making this one. 

And that's all for now. Check back soon for more updates. Big holiday project in the works. It's exciting haha.
