Needle Felting:
During the class you will learn how to use crochet techniques and needle felting. After this you will make your own needle felt pin or figurine. The idea is that you sketch a shape that you want to make and then use needle felting techniques to make it 3D (no bigger than 6cm by 6cm by 6cm).Â
Submit a blogpost with the ideation sketches and images of what you created.
Finally describe in one paragraph the challenges you faced and how you solved them or could solve them.

The main issue I encountered this time was handling some details. For example, when making the edges of the dumplings, it was hard to control because they were very thin and long. When felting, the areas that were too thin were hard to shape. So, I folded the wool felt and pressed it down, gradually securing it on the sponge board. When making its expression, the felting area was very small, so I had to focus entirely to keep the wool felt in the desired place. This task wasn't particularly difficult. It just required patience and carefulness, as well as being careful not to prick my hands.
