I am so happy with my first needle felted kitty! I've always wanted a little yellow cat but my allergies prevent it...now I can have all of the cat's I want, lol.

I made the kitty without any armature, but she can still do a few poses. She can sit down, or sit up, with her paws up.

I hope one day I'll be able to make realistic animals, but for now I'm happy to be able to make these little guys.

Here's the kitty looking at the ebook that I used for inspiration... mine is not modeled after any of the cat's in the book, but I did use the pictures for inspiration regarding shapes needed for ears and paws and tails, etc. I also looked at pictures of real cats to get the slope of the back right.

From behind the kitty doesn't look kitty like but I think she's cute anyway.

She's tiny, only 2.5 inches long, but too big to be dollhouse miniature size. She's the perfect size for my 8 inch dolls though. I'll have to get a picture later.
I'm really enjoying needle felting and love that I can do it while watching TV! It's so much fun to watch a lump of wool turn into a little critter.
I still have to glue the kitty's eyes in, and I may add whiskers; I'm not sure.
Now, what should I name this kitty? Any suggestions.
Ohh, this is just too cute!! I have to give a try myself for my dollhouse, as I love this look you've created!!
ReplyDeleteName her Puff!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sanne! I want to make one small enough for my dollhouses too, although I'm going to have to try to sell my plastic canvas dollhouses. I hate to do it, but I'm moving soon and have to downsize.
ReplyDeletePuff...what a cute name!
