These images show fibre sculpture underway. The fodder has been roughly stitched quite thoroughly though the stitches are not obvious. However there are many passing right through the structures.
I have used a long doll making needle threaded up with a strong poly thread (recycled). these fodder bodles are going to be a collection of three birds and one kangaroo head.
The shapes will gradually appear as the form is built up.
At this stage I could pass twigs and sticks through the fibre for legs and it would be stitched in, butI think here the whole form will be fibre.
As in the cushions already spoken about a small bundle was stitched and then more and more fibre stitched onto that as the shape appears. it helps if you have some idea of what you want to make but it can also be a form where you just keep stitching fibre on here and there.
There is no need to use double threads if the thread is strong. Single thread is not obvious and blends in with the fibre.
In each of these structures as they are there is approximately one hour of stitching.
