Wool Bear

I didn't get as far with this as I had hoped. Things kept me busy till after noon.

I spent some time looking at the patterns of the bears I had done and decided I needed to start fresh. This photo has been sitting in my files for awhile.


Very distracted bear!

What drew me to this guy was the shagginess of his coat. I loved those tags of fur, probably un-shed winter coat.
I went over the fleece and started cutting off the paler twists of fur from a chunk washed section.


After projecting this photo on the wall, I traced the outline onto thin stabilizer.
The remaining darker wool I finger combed into a light handful and then ran it through the felting machine and anchored it to the pattern.


Small bits soon build up.
