Agnese's Harvest mouse Masterclass List of materials:
- Round,
- Natural beeswax (bars available from bee keepers)
- White nail varnish (I use UV one, but you need UV light for that too)
- Mod-Podge and paint brush for applying (optional as you can just use PVA glue too)
- Cat hair for whiskers (maybe fine dog ones would work too, everyone has a friend
with a short haired cat, don't they?
Wool (you only need small amounts and shades are optional, I mix mine and choose different shades with different mice. 20g of each could make hundreds of mice)
- Core wool- I personally prefer , but use what you are most comfortable
with - (for tail and feet)
- –natural creamy white short carded batts (for muzzle cheeks and chin)
- or for adding shape of the eyes around the black beed- tiny amount.
Additional tools, you may already have some:
- Wax heater
- Hair straighteners
- Wire cutters
- Good scissors
- Tweezers
- Candle and basic metal ball sculpting tools
- Tooth brush- for combing-sorting fur
- Ball end pins –short ones (a helpful guide where to put both ears before felting)
- Your favourite (of course!)
- Pyrography tool with flat leaf looking tip (as seen in my video Masterclass)
