A weary worldLet the skin be wrested from my hands
Like gloves of cells and callouses.
I know not how my heart can take
Their doing any longer.
The tendons underneath must be
Tired, worn and torn from use.
I know not how my mind can use
Their function anymore.
Bones, once strong, shall soon become
Brittle, breaking pools of pain.
I know not how my body takes
Their silent purpose now.
Find release in freedom now,
For we will see the light.
Yet I know not how I could cease
This dreadful thing called life.

A critter taken care of for eternity... how adorable.

For ~TheHarley for catching my kiriban! Yay!

-----

This creation was made with a type of crafting called needle felting. Basically what happens is I take a bunch of loose (i.e. roving) wool and jab it with a needle (many, many times). The wool bonds to itself, slowly getting firmer and firmer. Eventually, it's firm enough to stand by itself in a sculpture-like way. By adding more roving wool, I can sculpt a creature or a person or whatever out of the wool.

Needlefelting is a relatively new craft, having only been invented 30 years or so ago. It's similar to the process of wet felting, but instead of using water, needles are used.

My needlefelt creations almost always include a wire base, so they are extremely posable, and I find the freedom of sculpting and the resulting plushness to be everything I could have asked for in a medium.

I happily take commissions, and my prices range from 20 and up, depending on the complexity but mainly on the size.
