Description My very first needle-felt project! I used pipe cleaners for his body structure so he is completely posable! He is only 6.5 inches tall so I was able to finish him in two days. His eyes are plastic beads I had lying around.

Inspired and guided by Amanda Edlund! ~Ulltotten You must visit her! She's a genius!!! And very, very kind!

When I saw Amanda's gallery, I was blown away! I couldn't rest until I'd tried needle-felting myself! I asked her a ton of questions, which she was kind enough to answer, and so Glip was born. Thank you so much, Amanda!

*Edit: I made a little animation of this guy but I can't seem to be able to get it in a proper format. I'm using Director so it makes it difficult. If anyone has any idea of how to do this right, please tell me. I'm gonno do some research on my own, but any advice would be helpful!

He's cute, funny, soft and likes to hang around. He...he...eh. He's pretty awesome, I don't know how you make your creatures so life like. It amazes me.

I'm pretty sure he's blushing from all those adjectives. (It sounds like something he should put on his profile heehee.) Thanks, Bean!

It's pretty easy if you have the material - you need some loose wool, a needle-felting needle, and some wire/pipe cleaners. I had to buy a kit from this place [link] so I got a foam block as well (which helps especially at the beginning stage so you aren't poking yourself too much ). So first I twisted the pipe cleaner into a rough armature then "poked" wool onto it using the needle. That's all you have to do, poke the wool into shape! Poking it makes the fibers cling together in an amazing way.

I hope you do try it so I can see!
