[January 28th, 2023]Made this bc I watched someone make a needle felt puppet & it somewhat reignited my will to make one. If u ever wondered where that black gradient on his forehead went at, lucky you, here u go
I already have the tools, I'm just missing a couple wool colors. No promises tho ;)
[February 4th, 2023]sure, it looks like it can stand up on its own right now, but keep in mind that it'll be weighted down and back with the other materials so it probably won't then Thus I'll be making the cane and a base/stand

[February 4th, 2023]me: there's no real need to define details on the body, this is just the base onto which clothing will go

Sorry I keep bringing this up but I'm genuinely impressed this thing is somewhat stable lol
Also he's not very photogenic rn, he looks much better irl. I chalk that up to how fuzzy he still is, and the fact the sun's gone down too much

I was bothered w how meaty his arms were, thinking, Man they're gonna be even thicker w sleeves on, they're gonna struggle w bending
Then I realized... I don't *need* the core wool on there, it's gonna be covered anyhow, same w the legs
I'll be doing an invisible stitch

I believe I need something like a ring lamp because the lighting in this room is positively dogshit no matter the time of day
He Can turn his head, but only slightly

[February 14th, 2023]We make the pants 👖
[February 19th, 2023]I'd like to show progress, but the thing is that I've actually gone backwards lmaoAA
Redoing the pants from scratch bc I hated the color, painting those FUCKING lapels was a bad idea
Ended up gutting his crotch too bc the torso was way long and it's been bugging me for some time
[February 20th, 2023]There, better :>
I attached the shirt directly to the pants, and to the shirt I attached the collar & vest. It's basically one piece. The legs are longer too, as mentioned previously but then didn't show a pic... So here u go, there they are

I let a test hand sit all night w the hair wax
Wool turned firm, but still retaining a bit of elasticity. The wax itself is dry & not tacky anymore. Fibers stays in place when bending the fingers, & eventual fuzz is cut easily and cleanly
Overally very good!

[March 1st, 2023]Tubes :) Sleaves (3 of them)
[March 11th, 2023]yeah I'm *still* working on these, harder to figure out that you'd think. I think I'll have to solder the pieces together

Don't know if I want to redo the glasses, they look kind of. Hm dk hopefully it's just me. Cane has been started tho

[March 18th, 2023]trial and error
[March 25th, 2023]waiting for the epoxy to the uhh 8th? 9th? pair of shades for the puppet to harden and I'm sICK of it, but the upside is that I've been devising ways to make them less structurally flimsy
i dipped the bridge (that serves as the link between the two pieces) directly into the resin, by slicing the mold & having the bridge sit about midway the mold, as well as the needle that I stab into the wool so that they actually stick to his face. like so

I tried, picture quality isn't great but I'm pretty sure that's a phone camera issue at this point
will post publicly in a little while
