Master class on making funny and very touching hamster from Tatiana.
This hot summer, at the time of vacation and vacation, just time to try yourself in something new!
Maybe someone had long wanted to rolling and hone their skills. For you, I propose my detailed master class to felting a cute hamster. The point is painstaking, requires perfection, but believe me, the result is worth it! I took two days, and almost from morning to evening. But if you are busy with your favorite thing - what could be better?
So, let's begin.
We need:
- Wool for felting: black, white, sand, some brown and pink;
- thin wire;
- eyes (ready or can be kept by the polymer clay themselves);
- Leske for mustache;
- Tools, glue.
We prepared the wool, looked, thinly her in different directions. It is impossible to grind the wool with scissors!
The basis of the toys is often made from wool, which is called Cardiches. In it, the fur is walking in different directions and it is easy and quickly equipped, but it does not fit for the exterior decoration. Needles we need two species - direct and reverse.
Let's go! :)
1. I took a white cardichess and put the foundation for the head, on the form slightly reminds the egg. Where the neck will be, I left a small bundle of non-unified wool, it will be more convenient to mount to the body. The degree of respect should not be loose, but quite dense.
2. Then I took the wool of sandy color and began to spill it, repeating the color of the hamster. Along the face, in the area of the eye, the head. Pretty apart, follow the form. Remove it is problematic, but add - how much. Watch the nose to be fired, add wool on cheeks, cheeks, forehead.
3. Now we will deal with the nose. We will need to take 3 small lumps of white wool - for cheeks and mouth. Guide photo. For an example on the Internet, look for, will help to help! Complete very well. Here we need a small piece of pink wool. We welcome it, make a longitudinal strip and nostrils. Many masters advise to use tinting - you can cut the dry pastel mouth, the nose, around the eyes and so on. I don't like it very much, I'd rather Narva wool on a shade and carefully reveal. Choose how it is more convenient for you!
By the way, back to the volume :) This photo is clearly seen that the hamster is thin and you need to base in places where stocks are going to :)
4. Let's now incur eyes! I pester the pea of polymer clay, and then paint black. Glitter will give ordinary nail polish! Of course, you can use and ready. So, the sockets are well suiced, they should not be loose. Insert eyes. I use glue the moment of a crystal or a transparent universal gel. Gel is even more pretty. In the eyes the most important thing is either. They form a cut of the eyes, thus the expression of the violence changes.
We take a sandy color wool, put on a slim layer on a sponge or a brush for felting. You nail directly to it, then carefully tear off and fold in half, we have a little more, and then pushing the workpiece between the fingers and carefully go through the needle on the edge.
5. We have 4 billets for the eyelids, the eyes have already grabbed, let's start processing. On top and bottom cover the eyes of the eyelids. Fully! Outdoor eye corners look a little up! Gently, splitting the eyelids, coming to the eye. He begins to slowly open, and the whole face is at the moment at the "Morning in the Chinese village" :)
6. The process is coming. Around the eye, you can lay a flagery of brown-black wool, gently sprinkled along the contour. Eyes will be more expressive. If we make a funny hamster, toy or something, then the eyelashes can do! Cool looks. But I want more realism for my hamster, so I will stop in time!
7. Well, someone looks at us! So the birth of the toy is! Hope you get as much pleasure!
Let's take care of the ears. They have a dark hamster, but not very black. I added to black wool a little brown and our sandy. The finely finely broke so that all the fibers are mixed and was homogeneous. Also, I apply to the wool on the sponge, I turn over several times, then the edge of the earc is cultivated already, holding it between your fingers. The edge that will be attached to the head do not touch, it should be fluffy.
8. Apply the ears to the head, you can pinch pin and look from different sides. Tally apart. Plots where dark wool is visible, just turn over our sandy.
9. At this stage, we will postpone your head, now we will make a body and connect them. We will lift all the beauty later.
I took a white cardoch, put the foundation for the body. Where the head is not covered again. There later insert your head and seal, so to speak :) It turned out such a mist.
10. Next, we make the basis for the color of the hamster coat: on the back, we apart the sand wool, on the tummy a small layer of thin white wool. While it is not particularly waving to the ideal, there will still be layers of wool.
11. And now we will deal with a very painstaking work: we will make your paws. We apply the wire on the pieces of 3-4 cm, no more. On the front paws of five things, I took on the rear on 4 (although if it is completely anatomically accurate, and it seems 5 too). Total 18 pieces of wire. From rose wool tearing thin ribbons wool. Macaem in glue the tip of the wire, no more centimeter, or even smaller, and turn the hair. Such a la wreat wands. Secure each tip of the liner's drop so that the wool does not depart.
12. We collect our fingers into bundles and form palms. Call the hair of the brush itself, hacking the needle, you can put on the inside.
We reveal first the rear legs. Prepare a bunch of white wool, a little privile it. It will be a thigh.
13. Wanted the protruding wire wool, put the thigh and all this is a good privile!
14. In the same way, we make the front legs: we turn around the wool with a wire (do not forget the drip of the glue).
15. Increase the volume! And also do not forget a small tail! I put it out of pink wool. The tail will also help the stability of the toy.
16. Covered with sandy wool back, paws where necessary. I wanted to still add a dark shade on the back, as they say - wild color. I mixed wool as for the ears. Only added more basic color.
17. We exercise this dark wool, we turn up our hamster, look from all sides - is there anything to correct?
18. Include your favorite TV series or music, the case will go easy, but long! :)
It is necessary to carefully work out the entire surface, respect the conscience! Especially if you are not going to flush the toy with a reverse needle!
19. I can not imagine how without reverse needle! With it, you can make such a beautiful fur!
If the process pulled more wool more than you need - boldly cut, and then the place will go all a little bit! So the fur will be counted. On the first photo only the foot is flushed - Compare!
I make a mustache from the fishing line. Paint acrylic paint and everything! Here you have a mustache at least white, even black!
Actually, here is our baby and ready!
I can not believe it! It remains to come up with a history of him and arrange a photo session :)
I hope my master class will help you in creating such a fluffy miracle!
I am doing a felon of 5 years probably already, then there was no particular training materials, all paid. Some sicks I collected information, learned new interesting things about felting, tricks. I had to ask and the masters - well, what should I do if the answer is not found? Although not always, even if you know how to do, it will turn out exactly that! :) Only practice and optimism! So I dare to hope that the master class will be useful to you!
I wish good luck in creativity!
Sincerely yours,
Tatyana.
