Spock stands 13" tall and is 100% needle felted wool sculpted with a barbed felting needle. He stands on his own with flexible joints without the use of a wire armature. There is no sewing or painting - the clothes are needle felted as part of the sculpture but made to look separate. Sculpting features with dyed wool is rather like painting and sculpting at the same time.

This is wonderful, really great portrait of Spock!

How do you make him posable without using a wire armature?

Thanks! I use needle felted joint making techniques that gives my dolls nearly a natural range of motion - but to pose them for photos I have to use pins because the wool is flexible and has memory and wants to return to its original pose.

How cute! :) If you don't mind me asking, what kind of wool do you use?

Thanks Gina - I use some really great wool batting that's imported from Europe - you can learn all about the supplies I use at my website www.feltalive.com.

Ah, that is interesting! I always thought about using wool batting but since its not the best for wet felting I never got around to it :)

Oh! And on your site I saw that you are the owner/admin for the felting forum! My dad, Horst Couture, is on there everyday and begs me to join! :XD:
