Felt Elephant!

Good Afternoon from the blog! A second post for today using the Elephant from Dr.Digi's House of Stamps Cuddly Critters!

I really love how he came out! I think he shows some evidence of improved skills, but not many! His ears are really fluffy, and not much like real elephant ears for sure, lol!

Here is the digistamp in the shop that I used as my pattern -

I did a lot more shadowing on this critter to try and keep some of the details from the original stamp, do you think it makes him look more cartoony? The original base shape I made for him was very comical, adding the details fixed the problem I hope ;)

This Elephant is one of a host of critter stamps at Dr.Digi's. Please visit this link to see all of the family and if you fancy a real bargain, why not head to the shop and get the full set? (That's £15 for £28's worth of stamps!)

Thanks for coming to the blog even though there wasn't any colouring to look at! Thought it would be nice to try something new this October (Work commitments haven't allowed for much crafting time) and I hope you enjoyed it.

Here are links to all the critters I have made so far -

Pig

Panda

Walrus

Elephant (Here)

P.s. the book in the first picture is from my vintage book stash and it is called " The  Big Book of the Zoo" (1930) and was published by Clay and Sons.

Felt Panda!

Happy to be here to share some more of my 3D felt creations based on Dr.Digi's Cuddly Critter Stamps!

This is the Panda!

I have to start by admitting this panda is a lot smaller than my other felt critters, I don't seem to be in control of what size things come out!  He has defo made me want to have a go at making some more bears!

Here is the digi I used in the shop -

Had to learn lots making this bear, unlike my other critters he doesn't have any shadow work, it was super hard to keep the black and white crisp so I decided to leave him just like that.

This Panda is one of a host of critter stamps at Dr.Digi's. Please visit this link to see all of the family and if you fancy a real bargain, why not head to the shop and get the full set? (That's £15 for £28's worth of stamps!)

Thanks again for coming to look at something a bit different! I have one more to share with you this afternoon and then perhaps normal non-felt service will resume, lol! :)

Felt Walrus!

Back again today with another felted Cuddly Critter from Dr.Digi's House of Stamps!

This is the Walrus! Again I used the digistamp like a pattern to make the 3D Walrus. I aimed to get him exactly like the stamp, but couldn't resist giving him some floofy whiskers!

Here is the digistamp in the shop - 

I start by using core wool to build the basic body shape, and when it's mostly right I add on the coloured wool and details.

I get my felt from FuzzyWuzzie Craft & Supplies Online and Ewe & Ply in Shrewsbury.

Think this one is my fav! Feel like he might need his own beachy setting on a long term basis! lol.

More to come in a fortnight when I will be back with a Dr.Digi DT friday felting.

Felt Pig!

Start of a little segue into needle felting! Have you ever thought of using a digistamp to make a 3D creation, following the stamp like it's a pattern? 

So I did just that! 

Here is prototype pig using the Cuddly Critters Pig from Dr.Digi's House of Stamps!

Here is the stamp I used to make my felt piggy -

Obvs I am not a needle felting expert but I really enjoyed making this chap! There are lots of things not quite right, but he's kinda cute and looks a lot less fuzzy in real life!

Thanks for popping to see something that isn't papercrafted! Hope you enjoyed looking at something different. I've another felted critter for later today!

p.s. background books are from my vintage book stash. The top one is called  "We Are Here" and is a Golden Pleasure Book (1963). The bottom one is called "The Wonder Book of the Farm" published by Ward Lock, no date but approx 1955.
