A friend of mine asked me to make this for them.  At first I wasn't sure what a Domo-Kun was but my friend educated me.   

So let me know what you think of my rendition of Domo-Kun:

 

And here is Domo-Kin hanging out with Cthulhu with a ruler to show scale:

I hope I'm not too late to submit this, I was working on him until a couple of minutes ago:




The Phone Call of Cthulhu!!



The Cell Phone Call of Cthulhu!!



The Text Message of Cthulhu!!

In case you do not know who Cthulhu is, he is an Elder God from a H.P, Lovecraft novel called The Call of Cthulhu.  He sleeps in the seas to awaken one day and eat all of humanity. 

Isn't he just cute.   

I just scored a pound of American Buffalo fiber for $16 USD!!!!

I thought that was a good deal, but I noticed the fiber smells.  Is there a way to clean the fiber and not felt it at the same time?  I am planning to use this fiber for both wet felting and needle felting.

I have seen some fantastic, jester looking, felt boots and I want to make a couple of pairs both as indoor slippers and outdoor shoes.

But for the outdoor shoes, what can I use for the bottoms?  Do I go seek out used cheap shoes at Goodwill or is there a place where I can just buy a couple of pairs of rubber soles?

I'm planning on wet felting with a resist to make the boots themselves.  I just got done making a couple of felted bowls with resists and had great sujccess with them.

I made some dreads out of roving a while ago and some of them seem to have become loose. 

So I was thinking about taking a needle and re-felting them that way but I do not want the dreads to become too stiff.

So has anyone had success with re-wet felting a wet felt piece before?

I have been lurking here for a while and decided to join.  I have been needle felting for about 4 months now and have made manly snowmen as holiday gifts.  I recently came across some photos of some needle felted jester shoes/slippers and I want to make a pair.  Sadly I have not had any luck locating a tutorial and wondered if anyone here had any advice or knew of a tutorial that could get me in the right direction.
