alrighty so uh. Made a frog. Made a frog for a sister. The froggy is a red-eyed-tree-frog.
Reason for this particular species isn't because it's her favorite or anything but like
way back then, there was an online game we would play a lot called Webkinz. hoowee.
Anyway, her lil chump was a frog, that she named Rico.
and uhh. yeah. thats it. that's the whole story.
just a little something to do for the sake of memories.
*looks it up*
oh wow webkinz is still a Thing apparently. huh.
ALSO
with all the other feltings I've done, this year especially, I overload way too much on all the photos and details
so. yknow what. I'm gonna bring it back own a notch.
just. bare minimum to get the points across.
took several days to dry out.
get the colors out, take more than what would be needed for this one frog because kikivu.
use craft sheets to build up the bulk.
Now the doll does have legs, but no arms. Done so for this reason-
don't wanna.
creative liberties and whatever.
trust the process. make the skin layer. black out. d o shit.
after getting the leg stuff situated, gotta use binder clips to keep the fold of joints to not splay out. train the fibers.
Now here, I show what it's like to get the hands made. slap some wool down and wet that bitch out. But turned out the hands were way too large.
thanks to the science of how wool works, stress out the fibers to hug each other closer, causing shrinkge.
spend a few songs worth and they go down in size. good enough.
home stretch. get the hands on, final details. punch in loose strands. bind up the body once more to keep the joints in place.
this little shit took 61 stabs
