A sweet little poro I made, this little guy is solid wool with alpaca wool as his fur. He’s incredibly soft. In the 4th image you can see what is under his ball of fur, and in the last image you can see what he looked like before I trimmed him down.

He has hand painted glass eyes and fimo horns

My most ambitious plush to date, Lionel! he took months to finish but he is very handsome and his mane is so soft~

Oztroja was another commission from a user on Lioden.

1. Wire armature as is tradition

2. Felted core wool around the wire armature

3. Added color wool

4. Started on the mane

5. (2 weeks later) finished the mane

6. Added details like nose, eyes and paw pads

7. No time for glamor shots, this was a quick commission I had to get out ASAP!

Here was the first needle felted plush I ever made.

This plush is of the character Abathur from Starcraft and Heroes of the Storm (last pic is the image I used for reference)

Step by step here is what I did to create him:

1. I made a wire armature using copper wire in the form of his body

2. I put core wool around the wire and bulked it out until it started to look like him

3. I blended some wool together to make Abathur’s unique colors and started applying it to the body. You may see that Abathur’s hands are not done yet. I thought it best to save the hands for last.

4. Finished up his face and body

5. Made a little “hat” for Abathur to set on people’s heads and pretend my plush is controlling them.

6. Made copper wire into hands and covered them in wool, then wrapped the wire around the loops in Abathur’s wrists so that his hands are poseable.

7. Glamor shot at the end!

Lionel with his colors on! He still doesn’t have his mane at this point but he is a handsome boy yes he is yes he is :D

part 1 in the making of my 3rd plush, Kitter the Cheetah

1. Started with a copper wire armature and applied core wool to make the form

2. Added the fur colors on and made the paws because I freakin love paws

3. The torture begins as I start adding in the back fuzzies. This was my first taste of the horrors of long fur on a plush. I could make a whole second plush in the time it took just to put the fuzz in. Oh golly.

4. Spots time! This part was fun.

continued in part 2 (tumblr wouldn’t let me add more images)

Liefde Van Moorde part 2

6. Finished up the mane FINALLY

7. Added small details- nose color, paws, claw sheaths, and fishing line for whiskers

8. Liefde got multiple glamor shots at the end!

Part one in the making of Liefde van Moorde, a lion for a commissioner on the site “Lioden”

1. I made a wire armature, and covered it in core wool, the sombrero was for funsies

2. Not shown, I ordered a few cachobons and painted them with glass paint to match the lions eye color and then felted them into the eye sockets. They are not glued, they are held in by the wool.

3. Added the base colors to everywhere but where his mane would eventually cover.

4. Remember I said putting long fur in is hell? it is! You have to poke in every single tiny batch of hair and then trim it using scissors and then pull out any wool that decided it was too cool to stay in place.

5. All the rest of these pics are basically mane progress. This mane took me 2 weeks to complete.
