Is that what needle felting is? I though you needed some sort of base?
This is what felting is. It’s a very good hobby for somebody who enjoys stabbing ^u^ what do you think I do all day?
Really thought he was gonna get a giant great wig….hoping actually
Wanna know how it works?
Those needles have barbs that catch and tangle the fibers of the roving (the term for that loose wool) together. The more you stab it the more tightly-packed and the more firm the object becomes. It takes a lot of little stabs to smooth out the texture on the surface and is best done with a single fine gauge needle.
Fun fact: the longer you use a felting needle the sharper it becomes, as the wool polishes the point.
This doesn’t bode well for your fingers but hey. It’s a fun art filled with cute projects, lots of stabbing, blood, and swearing.
me trying to get comfortable in my covers at night
thats the kind of thing i would love to just have in a little jar on my shelf so that when people came over they would be really unnerved by the mysterious shifting blob i have in a flask and i would refuse to acknowledge its existence
i am feeling so fucked up about julian bashir. victim of abuse for most of his formative years. his parents literally changed him at the genetic level because they couldn’t stand who he was. he was really so young when he came to deep space nine. nobody really likes him. he’s insufferable and he knows it. auauauuauuuguguhhghghhhhh
HE LOOKS LIKE THIS IN EPISODE 1 IDK WHY I’M EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW
@sigynpenniman what is today? it’s thinking about Julian Bashir and wishing him better day as always!
Cecil. She/her. During the day I sit in libraries staring at books. During the night I write queer fanfiction with a historical slant.
Some not-so-random facts: Gay space lizards are the best lizards. Star Trek is my life. I have too many DS9 ships. Classic Who and the Eighth Doctor Adventures make me grin stupidly. Kelas Parmak is the best. I will defend historically accurate portrayals of Alan Turing to the last drop of blood. Likes and asks end up in the name of @apolesens-otheraccount, because Tumblr doesn't have a way of changing which blog is your primary one. Nothing happens over there - this is the one to follow.
