Felted Plush Carbuncle
Another
experiment with the same-ish Carbuncle pattern that I've been playing
with--only this one has some needle felted details! Exciting, I
know. I wanted him to have a "fuzzy" look, and so... I have
succeeded. But not before breaking two felting needles.
It's my own damn fault for felting directly to fleece, but...
geez. You wouldn't think this sweet little guy would be capable
of snapping metal, but he is. "Strong enough to BREAK METAL, yet
gentle enough not to crush my hand."
Of course, the jewel in his forehead is
a large gorgeous Swarovski crystal, and the eyes and lovely little
glass beads. Those fuzzy accents are hand-dyed Merino wool from Flights of Whimzy,
and it's soooo soooooft.
