Re: Needle Felting The Hams
Thank you!
Creamface is 8cm from base to the top of the ear, and she's 5cm in width at the widest point. She's about 4cm in depth. Trying to get them all a similar size although they will probably vary a little

I'm working on a little felt Abe at the moment, I hope it goes as well as Creamface did. I usually find my first try always comes out better than the others haha! I will just be extra patient with this one

I'm a patient person, so I don't think that will be a issue but I'm a perfectionist so is it easy to adjust the shape if it is not perfect?. I'm considering buying a needle felting kit so I can give it a try and see whether I can do it/enjoy doing it and I will let you know how it goes.
Can't wait to see your other needle felting hamsters! It's all ways the case your first one normally turns out better than the next!

Re: Needle Felting The Hams
It depends on how hard the shape has become to be able to adjust it. I usually have to pull off the smaller shapes and re-do them because I'm a perfectionist also, haha! Like today, I was doing Felt Abes face details and I had to re-do it again because it just didn't go right... it still isn't right and doesn't look exactly like Creamface's face which I'm pretty annoyed about but I'm just going to finish it and see how it turns out. I've put the nose too low so you can't see his mouth, but oh well!
Also the plastic eyes I got are too small so I'll have to use wool instead. I can use those for something else

Re: Needle Felting The Hams
Ok I think I will need to give it a try then. It's so annoying when you are making something and it doesn't look right to you it's noticeable but other people can't see what you see! It's frustrating when you are doing crafts to relax but when they are not perfect they become stressful, but I always enjoy seeing the finish product as it makes me feel a lot better once it's all done.
When you finish felt Abe it might look fine, can't wait to see it though!

Re: Needle Felting The Hams
Let us know how you find it when you do! I know! It's so frustrating! That's why I want to get it done and see the finish product, trying not to think about how it looks at the moment haha! I'm being patient with it

Re: Needle Felting The Hams
I've not managed to have the time to do any of felt Abe, but once I have the time I will let you know how he goes. All he needs now are arms, legs, a tail and eyes. I will also need to make his body in proportion with his head by layering wool to imitate the muscular parts like shoulders and hips. It is a process that takes a lot of patience and time! I'm looking forward to how he turns out

Re: Needle Felting The Hams
It is simply beautiful! I would love to have one little hamster like that and hang it in my bag, like telling everybody "yeah, I love hammies!"
