Part 4, and last part of the felted penguin tutorial!

Now that you have your beak, it’s time for the feet. From all the other penguins I’ve felted, I was running out of orange felt— you can use more than in the picture if you’d like to! Just make sure to cut/tear them as even as you can.

Again, for the feet I usually just place the felt on and go from there, but you can always make the shape beforehand.

Face the feet at an angle under the penguin, more towards the front than the back. Also try to get them as flat as you can, these will be the only thing holding your penguin up! Please do not give your penguin a concussion by dooming it to fall over and over again, the poor little guys.

Next up we’re working on the eyes. If your penguin has a mask, sunglasses, etc, this step is completely optional. Here I could have switched to my smaller needle, but I stuck with medium.

You can shape the penguin’s expression a bit more here with how you shape the eyes— for example, since AA is more attentive, I gave her wider, slightly sloped eyes.

Applying them is about the same as applying the white felt on the belly. Place a small amount of white felt above one side of the beak, shape it as you tighten it, and do the same for the other side. Make sure not to leave any space between the white of the eyes and the beak, and of course, get it as flat as you can.

Lastly, add the black part of the eyes! Use a VERY small amount of black felt, as it pops out a lot.

If you have felting scissors, you can also snip away extra bits of felt around the sides to make it look cleaner. AA definitely needs a bit more of a trim XD

I’ll get to her clothes sometime, but for now, here’s your penguin tutorial!

My grad cap fell out of my closet while I was looking for something, and I realized I never shared it here. This is my sister’s work, and I’m still so grateful for her making it a reality. I couldn’t ask for it to be better. <3

I thought the quote was fitting for the ending of my journey through public school; that sign on the iceberg, in a way, marked the end of an important part of my childhood. So many memories came to a close the day club penguin shut down.

Now all of my childhood friends have grown up with me and gone their separate ways, and the years leading up to that day I walked shut their doors to prepare for a new chapter. I’ll cherish the memories I made, and keep them in my pocket as I see what the future holds for me. To all the friends who made me who I am, Waddle On <3

Second attempt at the ‘found footage’ art this time with the puffles ^^

Rat kings are like the saddest mystery dude, poor little guys

Rat kings are phenomena said to arise when a number of rats become intertwined at their tails. Historically, there are various superstitions surrounding rat kings, and they were often seen as an extremely bad omen, particularly associated with plagues.

A month ago I experienced a spiritual awakening that resulted in a club penguin x ninjago crossover, that another post reminded me of

Gary gave Darwin his hat for the St. Patricks Day event so he wouldn't get pinched

Here's the original image for context. He's so adorable I love this bean so much-
