Hi, everyone! I'm an artist and proud betta owner -- see my beloved Dart in some of my other threads. She's doing a LOT better now thanks to the advice I got on here. :thankyou:
I specialize in needle felted wool (that's where you poke a wad of wool with a needle a thousand times until the wool condenses into a shape) and I made a betta!
Thank you for the encouraging feedback, guys! :grin: It was so much fun making him I'll probably make more. Besides, there are so many beautiful betta colors and shapes that I can't just make one!
About the size, yeah, much bigger than a real betta. Makes it a little bit easier to do the details.
Thank you! I had a feeling people here would like him... ^^
@TheStormyPetrelofCrime: No betta in particular, just a bunch of photo references and my imagination. I would like to make a likeness for a betta who passed before his time, but I'm a little intimidated.
Amazing! I can only imagine the amount of time that must have gone into that. Definitely worth the effort though because it's a truly beautiful and unique completed project that few would ever have the patience to recreate even if they wanted to!
So cool! You're very talented, I'm always amazed at what people can create from what started out as just a shapeless clump of wool. How did you attach the eyes?
Wow. I rarely comment on art, and those felt sculptures are pretty fantastic.
