My passion is creating Aussie creatures, especially extinct or endangered ones. As realism is my forte, it was a challenge to create a fantasy egg for Yarn Magazine but I’m pleased with the outcome and who doesn’t love a bit of sparkle. Truth be known this is a great exercise to help you refine your animal ear making skills. With over a hundred scales for this fantasy egg you will certainly develop a style and strengthen your felting muscles. So what are you waiting for, start stabbing.
To create this Dragon Egg you will need:
Romney Core, about 25 grams
Merino Roving for topcoat in 3 colours, about 10 grams each
Tools:
Felting Needle, size 36.
Felting foam (any foam will do, like a car sponge) 2 cardboard cards (or plastic bank cards)
Scissors with pointy tips
Iron
Optional:
- Permanent marker in deep shade of project colour. Glitter glue in complimenting colours to the project.
