I made him. (thelemmy.club)

I'm good at a lot of things. Sewing isn't one of them.

This started when I got a pattern to use up the box of felt from my failed wet felting experiments. Since I already mastered The Dryer Ball, my hubris led me to believe I was ready for multi-cellular organisms.

And I was. He's my handsome fox man.

I find the belly very interesting. Looks almost like a huge cotton ball on an open wound, with the red coming from the outer parts. Was it intentional? How did you do it?

(this was asked by someone who knows nothing about sewing)

It's all scrap felt I made for other projects, 2D it looks like marbled red and white - the wool colours I used. I chose that piece for the belly to represent love.

And I know dick all about sewing, too. The pattern came in plastic pieces I traced, cut, and followed the directions to put together. I did it by hand for extra love (because I don't own a sewing machine.)

This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
