I have never felted before. I didn’t even know what roving was. Now I do. It is very peaceful to sit and stab a ball of fluff with a needle. Right until you get your finger.
I prefer additive sculpture over reductive, so I enjoyed this process. I made a caterpillar by felting several little balls and attaching them together in the form of an inchworm. Then I kept adding layers and adjusting the position. Layering the colours reminds me of working with pencil crayons. I never lay down one colour and often deliberately choose colour that contrast jarringly to get the effect I want.
I got wrapped up in needle felting and planned to do the wet felting at home. Sadly I got sick. So I didn’t get to it yet.
