This Christmas I was gifted a mini needle felted unicorn kit.
It was super cute and when I opened the box the colours were brilliant! I really wanted to start making it there and then, but apparently it's not approprate at the dining table. I wasn't sure when I would get the chance to make it.
And then on the Saturday after Christmas I was supposed to go down to the studio and do something with glass. But it was cold and even with the heater on, it didn't seem to make much difference. And it's a mess too which didn't inspire me. I settled for having a quick tidy then retreated back to the house.
What to do? And my eyes fell on the unicorn kit.
I had to get one of the felting mats left over from another felting project, otherwise I was good to go.
It didn't take long, just the afternoon. The instructions were pretty clear, although I decided to do legs last once I knew I had all the material I needed to making the head, ears and horn.
But it was only when I added the mane and tail that she came alive! 'im outdoors called it the 'disco unicorn' and that seems a reasonable description. If my fringe was that long and in my face I'd have cut it off by now, but I think it suits her. Hope it doesn't annoy her as much as it would me.
I also added a star on her rump, seeing as I had so much colour left over.
A nice little afternoon project. But I'll have to get into the studio at some point.
