In this Teeny-Tiny Fox Livestream Course we will work together live and create a miracle out of nothing - a tiny felted fox weighing less than a gram. An adorable and durable microfelt with great possibilities!
What is a livestream course?
It is as close as possible to a face-to-face workshop format, it involves working together during the broadcast and a lot of communication. I show you the process of creating a tiny fox and you work with me at the same time on your own one. I answer all your questions via chat and help you cope with the work as efficiently as possible.
What do we do on a course?
On this one day course we will learn about microfelt and create a wonderful tiny fox from start to finish. The fox is a miniature sculpture, a one-piece doll (the finished toy is 3cm tall and weighs less than 1g of wool). It is literally a tiny miracle out of nothing!
In one lesson we will make ready tiny fox and study the process of creating a miniature from wool. Wool has a compression limit, the thickness of the fibres also limits us in size and quality, so we will explore the technological possibilities of the material and a variety of techniques and methods that will allow us to make a tiny but high quality toy. Here we will use mixed techniques - both needle and wet felting, as well as all sorts of tricks to make the fox beautiful, strong and durable.
We will also learn how to create and set up tiny eyes by using uv resin. This is a very interesting material with huge possibilities in felted miniatures, allowing us to take our work to the next level.
All in all, the fox will be small in size but big in content!
How long is the course, will there be a recordings and is it suitable for beginners?
This course is a one-day course consisting of one evening lesson. The course is suitable for passionate beginners, but will also be of interest to experienced masters. I give very detailed instructions, so there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of. In addition, you will have a recording with unlimited access and my support.
Does it take much to get started?
The list of necessary materials and tools for this course is small, everything can be easily found. I describe everything in great detail in the PDF file and introduction lesson that you receive right after payment, so that you have time to prepare before the course.
The fox in this course is a miniature figurine toy. To create felted miniatures, you don't need many materials and tools - this tiny fox weighs less than a gram, and of the specific tools you need a ribbed anti-slipping mat from IKEA (or similar), as well as a needle felting needle. These tools must be prepared in advance, but the pleasure of felting is guaranteed! Believe me, I've been felting toys for 15 years, and still enjoy it.
Will I like it?
