Cow is about fertility, prosperity and patience. So this course is just like a magic cow: great amount of  felting techniques and great ideas.  Plus new work with polymer clay! Just be patient and follow the lessons and you will get to the beautiful herd of tiny cuties. 

What will be in the course?

In this course I offer three interesting heroines at once. The course is based on the classic black and white finger puppet cow, which we make entirely from wool with wet felting technique - I show you the process from start to finish. 

And as a bonus, I offer two full lessons with other cows.

One is a fluffy Highland cow from Scotland. It's also made in a finger puppet format, but it has a different surface - made from alpaca fleece, and horns made from bakeable polymer clay. We will also learn the basics of working with clay on the course.

The third cow will differ from her friends in that it will turn from a finger puppet into a whole doll figurine. And finally we will dress them up for the long winter in warm felt boots - another bonus lesson on woollen miniature.
Total: three different cute cows and a lot of interesting techniques.

Puppets are great actors in children's home theatre.
Children adore them. But adults are not indifferent to this tiny cuteness either. Most of my friends have similar crumbs in their pockets or on their desks, they all want such a gift. After all, we are children inside and love to play. Even when we play adult games, we need a release and a good mood. And here mini cuties work to the best of their ability - they make us smile! Moreover, and in the process of their creation. Felting such toys is a real art therapy with guaranteed wonderful results.

Copyrights

I am happy to share all techniques and practices for personal use, but I am against teaching based on course materials. The goal of my course is to teach the technology of toy creation by the example of my images, so that in the future you can independently develop as an original author, mastering all the felting techniques.
