Farm Animal Stack | Pt.1 | Dairy cow | Pig | Lamb | Rooster|

Farm Animal Stack Part 1...cow, pig, lamb and rooster.
In this video I show you how to form the cow out of core wool.
I used pipe cleaners for the armature to support the cow which will support the other animals standing on top.
Watch for Part 2, 3 and four. Part 2 will be the pig, Part 3 the lamb and Part 4 the rooster.
Once completed all the animals will be mounted in a shadow box frame.
Practically anything can be needle felted. Give it a try.
Sometimes you need more than one reference when working on your creatures.
Having a good reference is paramount.
After a while many characteristics become committed to memory.
Make sure you have the foundation the way you want it before applying the details.
If you can draw you can sculpt.
Work all sides simultaneously.
Take your time executing the details, too much detail can become too busy.
Try not to enclose a shape, it becomes a distraction.
Felt from natural fibers like wool is considered to be the oldest known textile.
Using barbed needles the end product is produced by matting, condensing and
pressing fibers together.
Why anyone came up with bird brain, I am not sure, birds are smart.
I love to needle felt birds, there are so many different species, and they are very colorful.

"I love plein air painting in Palm Beach County, or anywhere for that matter".
Gordon paints today's landscapes that contribute to tomorrow's history.
I consider myself a plein air impressionist.
I love to capture the light of the scene, to capture the mood, so one can feel the air in the imagery.
The Magnus & Gordon Gallery features the most unique, creative, original artwork and sculpture in South Florida.
Located in Delray Beach, the gallery was founded in 2013 and is the go to place for art.
Magnus Sebastian a sculptor reconstructs vintage mannequins in most of his work. His works of art tend to be an idealized expression of the human form. He fills them with innards made of the cast off pieces of technology that we take for granted and discard every day. Captivated by the idea of alternative perspectives Magnus wants those who inspect His work to see the beauty of form and be intrigued by the mechanical foundations. He wants the viewer to be drawn to the illusory patinas and mechanisms - to walk the line between dream and reality.
Brenda Gordon works in oils and/or acrylics, building up texture and glazes to create vibrancy in color, shadow and light. Her subject matter is diverse and has been described as romantic realism. In all of Gordon's work, attention to detail reveals her passion for the beauty of nature, interest in human interaction and love of expressing it through the imagery of art. Her latest passion is needle felting.
Working together Magnus and Gordon have created outstanding sculptures and contemporary original paintings.
