Feltorial 'Sleeping Aussie Baby' Shingleback
Project 11 - Level 3.
Number 11 is the third of the advanced sculpture in the SAB series. The tiny toes are preparing you for the final sculpture which is the tiny BEHM (Big Eared Hopping Mouse).
This Feltorial has a new way of creating toes and attaching limbs. With four separate techniques for scale creation and some outrageous ways to create shading and special effects.
Just like colouring for adults on in 3D, this adorable little Aussie will teach you the skills for creating dragon skin in a small achievable sculpture. The technique is akin to meditation and certainly hushes the busy mind.
There is a lot less stabbing and a lot more poking in this on so you can sit back and relax. It’s only up to you how much detail you will dedicate to this project, I think you should make two as they are monogamous lizards and pair for up to 20 years.
You can read all about this unique (one of my favourite) little Speeping Aussie Baby in this Feltorial.
