I used wool fibers and angora fibers. I used good old fashioned pipe cleaners to make a wire armature and then needle-felted his body and head forms. Once the head and body were sculpted, I needle felted the wool to create the fabric to make his suit. The pieces of his costume were needle felted together, not sewn and then attached to his body using the felting needles. Even the tints in his face and the color of his eyes were done by needle felting.Here are photos.

I came over from WildArtDolls. Your Santa is so imaginative and awesome. Needlefelting is beyond me. Um, maybe patience has something to do with that. You have captured the expression for sure. Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Janet
WOW!!! I love your Santa, Alice.

Very grand! Your santa gave me a lot of joy. Thanks!
I like your Santa. I have wanted to try this method of felting. Maybe someday........your other heads are cool too.
wow... he's great Alice... love it. The only things I've made so far with felting is little bears and couple of hippos... this little guy is pretty special.
What a wonderful little Santa. I have dabbled in needlfelting...not as much as I would like and from experience, this little guy is awesome.
