My resting unicorn piece is really starting to shape up! I probably should've waited longer to attach the ears and tail but I needed to see the vision better if that makes sense haha. Still a long way to go, especially on the legs and head, but I am starting to see the vision come to life now.

Clay attachments - I already felted a horn but I dont really like it anymore, and I think i want to make one from polymer clay. I will add a wire in the center and sticking out so I can attach it properly into the wool, is this the best method? I think I'll have the wire curved to go deeper and secure a bit better. Is glue necessary, and if so what is the best kind?

Pigment powders - Ive seen many videos and posts where people have added pigment powders onto the finished felt to add depth. I would love to do this but I have a couple questions. What pigment powders are best for this? Do I dampen the powder first and spread it out with a soft brush? How do I ensure the powder remains secure and doesnt smudge too much?

Thanks for reading, I look forward to hearing advice from the wonderful people in this sub! I really appreciated the feedback on my last post regarding this piece, this community is so kind and full of great advice! :)

Sorry for my messy workspace. I started this resting unicorn a few days ago and im feeling very discouraged. I usually like to wet felt clothing pieces and this is the longest ive worked on a needle felted project. I have a few small projects that I did not fully complete but I am still pretty new to needle felting.

I just wanted some feedback from this lovely community so I feel motivated to continue. Please note I am not going for realism, this piece is inspired by medieval unicorn artwork. I dont have exact dimensions but it is ~6.5 inches from the head to the bum.

I am having trouble felting the legs. I unfortunately do not have pre-carded wool for this project, only roving with a very long staple length. I have been carding the wool in small batches but it still seems difficult to felt the smaller details with such long wool.

I am hoping for some tips and encouragement as I am starting to feel unmotivated to continue. Thank you for reading this far, and I look forward to hopefully hearing some tips from this community! :)

Materials: chenille pipes, merino/falkland blend wool, polyester batting, angelina fiber, wool locks

Will probably mess with the design a bit more but I think this little shop looks cute so far. Lily is in charge of this combo shop on my island. She takes great pride in her wide selection of books and soothing teas 📚☕️

They always spawn in the worst spots lol, but i definitely took my net out too close

The island flower shop, run by Deirdre! I tried to make it as compact as possible while also having a good bit of depth. Located outside of Nook's Cranny, next to the picnic area in the shopping district of the island ~

Includes some of my hobbies to the best of my abilities with the in game items. The fiber related items/sewing area represent my wool felting fiber arts, then there's a spot for sculpture/traditional art.

Just missing digital art and photography but I really wanted to include a cozy reading nook so I may remodel my basement to add those hobbies at some point. I love the cozy look I have going on up here and the giant window! :D
