Commission for Knienke on dA!

I'm really pleased with how Fluttershy turned out, and it was fun making her. She has a two-strand galvanized steel wire armature, which was wrapped with polyester batting for posability. Core wool was needle felted over that, and then hand-dyed superfine merino batt was needle felted on top. Her hair is a fine nylon, hand-dyed and hand-rooted. I learned that hair can be attached very securely by making plugs (I tied a knot in the end of a strand of hair) and then sewing them into a slit cut in the felt.
