The Seal Pup Felting Project - Part 4

2 Seal pups down, 2 (?) more to go:




I'm pleased with how this one turned out: the body is shorter and has more structure because the 'chest' is thicker than the rest of the body. The back flippers curve up and the head is better placed. It still doesn't look the picture in my instruction booklet but it's closer than the last one.

I still didn't sew the eyes in; there aren't any instructions on how to do that. I wasn't really happy with the face because it looks like the head of a polar bear. Felting 'wisps' of wool is difficult and it's the most noticeable part. I don't have the patience for this sort of work.

It does make this guy look happy which is a happy trade-off. I can live with that.
