This is a 3D Oriental Cat Head, sculpted from 100% Norwegian wool, it is the size of an A4. It took forever for me to create this small to medium sized head, and fix it to a flat surface, so that the weight of the head would not pull down. It works very well in 3D, as light in a room changes, so will this wonderful, life looking portrait, creating shadows and a whole different dimension and appearance; s if it was to walk out of the frame.
This was actually created from only 2 photos of my cat, i decided to place the head slightly to one side of the frame, i think it give it that little extra room for the nose, which protrudes somewhat. The head is completely formed, and is correct throughout - meaning i haven't left any area scraggly, it is finished off to the very millimetre. There is NO metal armature, NO sponge or foam to pad it out, it is completely 100% made form wool. It has been formed using only 2 different types of needles. It took me a approx 80/85hrs to make, not including fixing it to the frame.
I enjoy every minute of creating these life like, 3D, relief portraits and sculptures, and i hope i can create many more for others to enjoy.
