Felt Needle Process (December 6)

Experimenting with felt needle was really fun. I decided to make a penguin. But, before I started on it, I played around and created a bear head out of spheres to familiarize myself with this material.

Creating a felt penguin was not very difficult. I started off by making a white sphere for its head. Then, I attached black felt onto it to make the "skin" and the eyes. I added a beak. It was difficult to make the beak because it was really small. Then, I made the body using white felt. I covered it with a thin layer of grey felt. I made wings for it. It was difficult to make the wings even sized. So, I used scissors to make them even. Lastly, I made the feet. I attached all the pieces together, and made a penguin.

When I first used the needle, I kept poking my fingers. As I was able to control the needle better, I didn't poke my fingers as much.

Overall, this felt needle project was a fun and interesting experience.
