I'm happy to see you here and have you join me on my artistic journey. Over the past several years I've created visual art in various media. But beginning in 2019 I am focusing on writing and illustrating books for animal enthusiasts of all ages. Regardless of the medium, my subject is nearly always animals! Don't miss a post!

Next the Reindeer Needs Her Raiment
Wow! This was quite a needle felting task - seven hours of poke, poke, poke. But it was worth it because I think she turned out pretty cute.
Now I need to decorate her. I'm planning Swarovski red and green crystals topping the tips of her antlers, a bow with bell for her neck, and a gorgeous beaded and embroidered blanket in red, white, and gold. I'd like to also add leg wraps but I'm in a bit of a quandry as to what to make them from.
The only thing I wish I had done differently was to make her antlers a bit more delicate. Next time... Also, as a potential improvement, next time I'll try wrapping the armature with wool felt and see if the felting sticks better to it.
