 The face is ready and I will start to build up the curly hair and the ears.

another step.

  The eyes are almost there. I started adding longer hair to the cheek.

 Just startet on my second portrait. Just tiny pieces if wool and a special needle to attach the wool on a piece of 100 % woolfelt.

Still a lot of work to do. The eyes must sparkle and then ..... the fur. A real challenge.

2D Needlefelting portrait

 It was time to explore other possibilities of working with wool.

This is a portrait of my darling dog, Chihuahua. His name is Mickey. When he was a puppy he had such big ears so I named him Mickey Mouse.

To make such a portrait of wool you need needlefelting wool. Sometimes only a hair at the time. So very timeconsuming. Totally different of painting portraits of animals. But in a way it is not. The fact I have a lot of experience in working with paint and pastelpencils in drawing and painting portraits I felt confident about working with colors.

I hope you like him.

 This is how it started. Tiny pieces of wool, slowly building up.
