🌰"Haaah‼️" It seems the cat has completely taken a liking to it😂.
Good evening🌛‼️
I'm sorry for being late again this week💦. Is everyone already asleep by now💦?
It's time for the usual wandering project, the needle felting series😅.
Part 11, Chiikawa's Kurimanju, has reached its climax.
This is Part 4, the final installment‼️
We will add the burn mark on the top of his head, which is Kurimanju's charm point, create his face, and finish it‼️
There are a lot of photos, so please take a look when you have some time☺️!
Let's get started right away‼️
🌰Adding the burn mark on the top of the head
First, let's start with the burn mark, which is Kurimanju's charm point! I'll take this nice light brown felt...Tear off an appropriate amount.Place it on the top of the head...Stab it little by little to spread it out and secure it.Start gently.There is one thin part, but it's no problem since I'll add more later.Little by little, little by little.Looking at it like this, it looks like Pompompurin😂.It's shaped up enough, so it's OK!
🌰Creating the face
This kit allows you to create one of two patterns: the normal face or the face when he goes "Haa!!".
I chose the face for when he goes "Haa!!". It involved quite a lot of steps, so I will post photos divided into each part.
🌰Creating the nose and mouth
Take this black felt...Make it thin...Aim for a point a little below the center,and needle it together little by little.Snip it with scissors✂️.Do the same for the other side.Alright, looks good!Since I also have to make it look like his mouth is open,I'll do this carefully and precisely too!Mouth is done!!
🌰Creating the inside of the mouth
The mouth isn't finished just yet...I still have to create the inside of the mouth, you see.Oh boy💦. This might be the most detailed part in my entire needle felting history.The pink part inside the mouth is done!Actually, it's still not over yet😅. Now I have to create the teeth💦.It's so tiny...😅.I felt from the bottom of my heart that I wanted a magnifying glass🥺.This is tough😅.
Creating the 🌰 eyes
This part for the eyes is relatively easy!I'll get it done quickly!This part is already done.If this appeared in the middle of the night, I'd cry😅. It's horror😅.Snip.Next is the other side!I'll do this side carefully too, so it's symmetrical!It looks like a vengeful spirit is coming out of the eyes😅. Like ectoplasm😅.Snip.Alright! Now for the rest...
Creating the 🌰 frown lines
I'm going to create those frown lines that appear when Kurimanju goes "Haa!!"!For these wrinkle parts,the thickness varies depending on the location, so I'll carefully needle them into shape while referring to the pattern.First, two lines.And this is where it gets subtly difficult.The wrinkles on both ends are supposed to be slightly thicker lines, but...I need to make the two lines in the middle a bit thinner, don't I💦.Is this about right🤔?Well, I want to proceed carefully here too.Snip.Hmm. I feel like the lines are the same thickness, but I'll call it good!
🌰 Adding a glint to the eyes
I'll tear off a tiny bit of white felt and add a glint to the eyes.I'm not very good at this part😅.Alright...!Now for the other side...I kept telling myself not to let my guard down while working on this😅.Alright! OK!
🌰 Creating the cheeks
Now, for the final part!I'm going to create the cheeks!I won't let my guard down until the very end!It looks like I didn't have quite enough pink felt.I'll add some more.One side is done! Now for the other!Looking good!Now, for the final step, just needle the cheek lines into place and it's finished!Make the black felt extremely thin...Needle four lines on each side, for a total of eight!Carefully and surely!Once they're needled in place...
🌰Finished‼️
Phew! Finally finished‼️ Here is the front view.From the side. The back stuck out a bit too much😅.The other side.The back. I managed to make a small adjustment to get the tail right in the middle✌️!
🌰Afterword and Announcement
🌰"Haaah‼️" ꒰՞o̴̶̷̤ᾥo̴̶̷̤՞꒱"Looks like you're having a good time! Switch with me‼️" 🐰"Hmph" 🐹"Fu!" 🐱"Looks like you're out of booze, but is that okay?"
Sorry about that😅. Let's save the drinks and snacks for another time.
How was it?
I thought it would be easier than the Momonga project, but the face part was extremely difficult😅.
I'm just relieved I managed to make it to the finish line☺️!
Also, one last announcement!
Next week, as a self-collaboration project, I plan to present 【Talking About My Hometown】 Spring Awakening with the Needle Felt Friends 【Introducing Tokachi Obihiro, Hokkaido】!
I'll be taking my needle felt friends along on my usual walking route! I plan to take all sorts of photos!
