horse ishduk
November 10, 2024

this is a felting to be based off a horse. kinda.
and it's for my babushka.
...
yeah this is all I'll put for the backstory of this. I don't feel like explaining anymore than that.

WIPS

w1. neck wet w2. neck pattern w3. neck unshrunk

okay so I started making a tile. didnt know of what part this would be, but ill figure along the way. turned out this is to be the neck

w4. neck wrap w5. neck shrunk

gotta do that rolling phase, shrink and strengthen.

w6. neck front w7. neck back

w8. neck close w9. neck shut w10. neck dry

making the neck tile into a tube shape so it can be recognized as the neck.

w11. hold neck

yeah. come kind of cone shape, as horse necks tend to do. meatier at the base.

w12. body assemble w13. body tile

now I gotta make the body tile.

w14. body unshrunk w15. body shrunk

and of course do the shrinking rolls for the body as well.

w16. neck uncapped w17. neck cap

figured itll be helpful to put some sort of ring cap onto the top of the neck. as this would be a hollow bodied horsey.

w18. body flat w19. body loop w20. body close

and now to turn the body from a 2D tile onto a 3D... bag thing.

w21. both parts w22. both connect w23. together stuck

now connecting the 2 parts... neck and body. gotta be careful in keeping this easy to put things inside without sticking the opposite walls of each other.

w24. clam shut w25. side done w26. back done

w27. legs off w28. head base w29. head bald

now for the extermities.

w30. head cover w31. head in w32. hair parts

w33. tail on w34. mane on w35. first leg

assembling.

w36. legs on w37. flowers in

putting in some flowers and salt crystals inside. dont ask for meaning.

w38. done on w39. done off

and done.
