3-needle-felting-examples

Needle felting is a technique where raw wool fibers are teased together using a special barbed needle.  After a while the fibers tangle into a solid mass and form felt.  By starting with a basic wad of wool and applying the needle in some areas more than others you can make interesting sculptural shapes.  

These three fellows are my first attempts at the process.

The original goal here was to draw Harry Truman, but as you can see, the likeness got lost along the way.

Here at the Umbrella we offer a full range of amenities and benefits for our hard working minions.  

dynamic-duo

For whatever reason I’ve been thinking about portraits today.  I think these two would be a perfect pair for a buddy cop movie.

Ice Sculptor

A little experiment with scratchboard and 2 ink colors.

Holiday Machine

I’m not sure exactly what this is, or really which direction is up.  Yes, those are white scotty dogs, and yes, white scotty dogs do come from bean pods.

watercolor-assortment

After some frustrations with the acrylics, I decided to get out the watercolors today and play a little bit in my sketchbook.
