Needle felted over a wire skeleton, silk fibres for the mane and tail and Fimo clay for the hooves. First try at felting over a wire skeleton and I,m very happy with the result. The legs and especially the hooves were the trickiest and I hope they're not too wobbly for those experts out there!

Thank you, I did lots of research into horse forms, glad you think it paid off! Love your rabbits by the way! :}

This is amazing. It has to be one of the best needle felted horses I've ever seen.

~Shoshannah84 Feb 4, 2013

Thank you, its the first one I've made and I found getting it right very tricky. Glad to know it pleased you! :>

So pretty! I just love buckskins ♥ The legs are so dainty and I really like the fiber you used for the mane and tail. Wonderful!

~Shoshannah84 Feb 7, 2012

Thanks, the legs were a bugger to do! I used silk fibres for the mane which worked really well. :>

A really beautiful and well proportioned horse. It's quite difficult to felt such thin legs over a wire armature, I can't believe you didn't break any needles.

The mane and tail look very realistic, what sort of fibers did you use? On my horse I've used normal (mulberry) silk fibers and it looks completely different.

Thank you, I did have to cut a hole in the under layer of felting to shorten the neck as it looked like a llama! It was my first wire framed sculpture so I went very carefully, broke 2 needles on the bird I did next! I used silk fibres for the mane and tail bit nervous as to how well they'd stay in place but once felted seemed really solid. Making a dragon now so we'll see how that turns out, keep in touch! :}

wow this looks great! Yes the legs and hooves are always a pain. I normally end up making my hooves oversized so my horses will stand lol
