Making a doppelganger for my dog and cat!
I want to be with you forever, but the set time is constantly passing quickly. The more you look at them, the more adorable they are, try to keep the cute appearance of the children in My Treasure No.1 as dolls. It's my favorite look, and look again.
Isn't it difficult to express each hair in a realistic way?
Wool crafts have a rustic style. If you only need a needle, sponge, and wool, you can make anything. You don't need special or advanced skills. Using a few basic techniques, it just takes time and effort to poke and polish over and over again.
In this class, we will teach you the basic materials, tools, and basic techniques of wool felt step by step in an easy-to-understand manner so that even beginners can easily get started. If you learn how to express fur, such as how to shape each part, which is the basis for making a pet doll, and hair, which you will learn in the middle of the curriculum, you will be able to fully express yourself in the form of a different dog or cat after all the classes.
At the end of the lesson, I'll give you tips on choosing wool that matches the coat color of our dog (cat), as well as observation points to make them look similar!
“Can I make them look like me?”
Please put that worry aside for a moment
The most important thing is “observation.” From head to toe, it's important to understand every look with affection. In that sense, I'm probably the one who best describes our dogs and cats?
Of course, it won't be easy right from the beginning. As with everything, the more practice and experience you gain, the better results you'll get. But what if the eyes look a little less similar or the ears don't look like them? If you think about your beloved pet and make it yourself, no matter who says anything, it's a Doppelganger doll.
Magic made with a small needle
Needle-felting can be a great hobby even if you don't have a puppy or cat. Actually, I also wanted to have a pet, so I started making wool dolls. The appeal of needle felt is that you can create anything you want to observe with a desire to create and love.
In this craft made with a small needle, the small protrusions on the tip of the needle magically harden the wool. The moment you start to prick the wool with a needle, the clock slowly rotates, I'm going to get back from being chased by everyday life. Wool time is a little slow, but it never betrays you.

Curriculum

It's a small workshop, and many people come here for lessons and crafting. You come with a different story, but every photo you consistently put out is filled with love. I know that being responsible for one life must feel a tremendous sense of weight. Also, that sense of weight can only be endured with the same love as a mother. Wool resembles such a warm heart.
Inevitably, children spend less time in this world than humans. I want to share this warm feeling with all of you who can extend the pleasant memories with those cute friends.
