It’s been 2 years since I made a legitimate 3D jelly and I’m not happy. I’ve spoken to the folks out at the workhouse about trying to cast one in Glass, but my schedule hasn’t gotten there yet. I’ve thought about sculpting it out of clay, and honestly I’m surprised I didn’t try that before this.
Last August I went through a felting rage. I bought a little kit to make a rabbit from a silicone mold and had so much fun I ran out to buy a bunch of wool afterwards. (I love my bag of wool, it smells like clean goats.) Well, I haven’t done too many projects since then so I still have a lot of wool, some of which I’ve been playing with alternative uses to
(My guilty confession. He originally had beautiful long troll hair and I managed to bake the head completely without damaging it at all. I went to rebake it to repair a crack I’d filled and burned off the top of his hair. So close! but that’s what preliminary trial runs are for! If you’re interested in this guy, I was too wrapped up in making him to remember to take pictures of the process, but I’ll do a post about what I noticed, what I learned, and what I’ll do differently for his creepy old wife next.)
BUT, I pulled out my wool again for it’s original purpose: felting. I wanted to try and make a three dimensional version of more traditional Jellyfish shape.
A couple hours of stabbing later and I had a shape I liked.
