Assignment Week 6: Materiality Demo A: Soft Sculpture

Penguin | Species | WWF

I took penguin as my inspiration to make my figure.

I made a figure with short arms and legs, similar to those of a penguin. I wanted to also give the figure a hat. I had to do the figure and the hate separately because I wished them to be done using two different colored felts.

I pinned down the paper onto a gray felt and traced it with extra space.

I cut two pieces for front and back.

I chose gray thread to match the color of the felt.

I stitched the two pieces of felt together but left a part in order to create a hole to insert cotton. I flipped the stitched felts inside out through the unstitched part.

Made a triangular hat out of red felt.

Decided to make a blue swirl on one side and an eye on the other to add characteristics to the figure.
