Sherlock: a Needle-felted Finger Puppet

As a bit of fun I decided to try to create a needle-felted finger puppet based on Benedict Cumberbatch‘s interpretation of Sherlock Holmes.

It doesn’t look quite as much like him as I wanted (for some reason I think more of Alan Rickman’s Snape in Harry Potter, than I do of Sherlock, when I look at him! Or sometimes I see Stephen Fry! Do you see anyone else?), but it was fun, and I want to practice making human features, so in that sense it was a success.

The hair was difficult. I think it would be better not to have needle-felted it all, but perhaps to have used some Wensleydale wool, which may have given a better representation of Cumberbatch’s hair style.

Anyhoo, here are some photos showing the process of creating the little fellow:

Un selfie avec mon “feltie”

P1070768

I decided to do a self-portrait in felt. I started by stuffing a holey (but clean!) sock with an old shirt and then wrapped wool around it and felted it using felting needles.

J’ai décidé de faire un autoportrait en feutre. J’ai commencé par utilisé une vieille chaussette (nette, bien sûr!) avec une vieille chemise dedans. J’ai mis la laine autour et la feutrée avec un aiguille.

J’ai utilisé laine pour créer les caractéristiques sur le visage.

Afterwards, I used coloured wool to give the face more features.

Après, j’ai utilisé la laine colorée de donner le visage plus de caractéristiques

P1070755 It isn’t a good likeness of me, but it is my first big felt sculture, so I am pleased with it.

Ce n’est pas une bonne image de moi, mais c’est ma première grande sculpture de feutre, donc je suis heureux avec elle.
