Elephant Philosophy of Felting Doctorate

The Elephant is the first in our newest level of needle felting tutorials, the PhFD. When you are a Philosophy of Felting Doctorate student you have extensive knowledge and experience with making armatures, basic wrapping and shape construction techniques, and color blending. In this tutorial Sara will teach a more complex armature that incorporates ears and a wired jaw, a tail, a trunk, tusks, along with many other techniques to allow you to sculpt this unique and unusual animal.
