Needle Felting Tutorial: Needle felting small sculpture

In this tutorial I show how to needle felt small sculpture. The sculpture was carved out a block of 2 pound EPS foam. Magic Sculpt was used for the face. Roving wool is poked into the foam over and over (needle felting) to create the fluffy texture. The lightning bolts were cast in bronze. I've linked some tool and materials here:

The bronze casting was done at Bronze Works in Santa Cruz, California. There's a few videos and tutorials on my page here that demo needle felting on large scale sculptures using the same carved foam technique. This piece is titles "Angry Cloud Spirit" and is 16 inches wide. I have a smaller version of this piece cast in resin with cast metal bolts that I will occasionally sell on my webstore at steveferrera.com. And several tutorials and how to videos on the making of that piece under the "Sculpture Tutorials" playlist. One video is an extensive how to video on the making of the three piece mold that actually embeds the cast metal lightning bolts into the cast resin piece. Thanks for watching!!
