![]() ![]() ![]() I was happy with how Porcupanda was coming along but felt there was not enough quills, more were stained and the Porcupanda was finished. Once the whole panda was coloured it was time to add the quills. I decided to make the panda with an open mouth as from the images in the mascot scandal I liked the panda having an open mouth. Now that I had the basic raw wool structure it was time to start adding the merino wool and eyes. I left a little of the pipe-cleaner sticking up as I wanted to make a little panda tail but ended up cutting of off as it got in the way of the quills. Next was creating the belly back legs and bottom. I decided to work my way down the body starting at the front legs building up layers of raw wool to create the legs chest and shoulders. This just kept the body even and although the pipe-cleaners did not reach the bottom of the paws it at least gave a joint where the legs could be built on. I started on the head using my normal technique of a pipecleaner frame and layers of raw wool to build up the head shape.Īfter it looking like a panda lollipop I used more pipe-cleaners on the body to give it legs. I used black ink which is a watered down acrylic that absorbed into the wood keeping the texture rather than painting over the wood. ![]() I used toothpicks which I stained with some of my husbands warhammer paints. Since the porcupine part was going to need time to dry I started with the quills. It’s another year where I take part in Gishwhes! And as always I have put my needle felting skills to the test to make this years wonderful new mascot the Porcupanda. ![]()
