Grubird, OOAK needle felted order sculpture

Grubird is a handmade OOAK needle felted sculpture. It's one of my earlier pieces (hence the price). It's made of wool, wire and bead eyes. It stands well on it's wire feet so long as it's a hard flat surface. It's felted to a squishy but firm consistency.

Materials: Wool, Wire, bead eyes

Needle Felting Process: This process is pretty unique, and VERY time consuming. Each piece starts with wool roving and batting, that is then sculpted by poking the wool with a special barbed “felting” needle. The needle pulls the fibers through each other until they “felt” together. The only sewing involved are the order bead eyes or appliquéd lace. Everything else is done by poking the wool. They can be handled gently, but they are original sculptures not toys.

These are NOT toys!! They are not safe for children!!! There are wire armatures and tiny parts that make them NOT toys!!
