Description

Learn to create, with your own hands, fantastic characters with felt

You will begin by getting to know in more depth the work of Caro Indy and the way in which she integrates her characters in different disciplines, making them come alive.

You will learn to create the face of a character, in a very simple way, from basic forms. You will discover essential techniques such as how to join pieces and hide unions. In addition, you will add spots, a small nose and you will sew up the mouth.

You will transform this first character into a brooch, which you can wear in the place that you like, although Caro will give you some ideas to incorporate it into other types of projects.

Afterwards, Caro will teach you how to make characters with body and limbs. You will see the way to join each piece so that it is articulable and you will learn to add hair.

It will be then when you embark on the project of more difficulty. In addition to head, body and mobile limbs, this character will also have cheeks and eyelids, giving greater expressiveness.

You will learn to add color to the fur of your characters and to mix the fibers creating gradients.

Finally, Caro will talk about how she transforms her characters into an attractive product.
