Further fiber input: I have no clue if it felts well but have you seen Lincoln? i have some that is rather rough but is like 7"-8" long. When spun it can get incredibly thin, but still maintains a little of that roughness. if you get it still in fleece form, you can comb out the individual locks and it would likely maintain its length. there are so many breeds to play with and I always feel a little like a kid in a candy store!

Y'all are determined to make me spend a fortune next fiber festival I go to. 😅 (I do want to try all the things! I have a bunch of smaller sculptures I want to make.)

Next time you’re needle felting something larger and with longet fur, you should look into finding wool from a breed like Icelandic sheep, which have a Very long topcoat. It’ll help with the “fur longer than the staple length” issue

It looks cool and I'd love to try it out, but all the top I've seen sold still caps out at 4" staple length. 😭

Your sixth needle felted figure??? What the hell man.

I pick hobbies that play to my strengths. 😅 I'm still very much a newbie and making mistakes all over the place, but I like to think I'm good at observing others and self-critique (thank you, music performance degree). I took a ton of shortcuts on Tricki that I'll point out when I am done, because I deliberately did some bad technique in favor of speed. 😅 But yeah, these were the previous 5. The…

May I ask what kind of fur you’re using for your dog figurine/puppet? I’m working on a costume project where I could use that kind of colors & texture.

Heya! His fur is a combination of: mohair: very fine and shiny, longer fiber length, difficult to felt combed corriedale top: medium fiber length, but, easy to felt combed merino top: medium to short fiber length, easy to felt core wool: short fiber length, super easy to felt, keeps everything together For a costume, you may want to look into faux fur or yak hair.

If that happens, I will make him a little doggy coat, like he has in the books. Days 1-7…

Do you have any advise for feeling comfortable swimming pre-top surgery?

It isn't really something I regularly did, unfortunately, despite being an avid swimmer. (Being able to swim again after top surgery was such a gift.) The few times I did swim, I wore a binder under a t-shirt + swim trunks. Keep in mind, I was pretty small up top. You could always swim with a rash guard, or one of those unisuits:…

Hi. First off I wanna say thanks for all this advice, vibes, and photos of your cool house you share on here. Seeing an older trans man really helped me along with realizing I’m trans, and that the future isn’t completely bleak. You being authentic inspires myself and many others to be true to ourselves. I was wondering if you have any small habits/things that you find gender affirming? Particularly stuff that helped early on in your transition. Even if you can’t answer, thanks for all you do. :]

Thank you! I'm gonna put this out there right now: gender euphoria doesn't have to be the same as being cis-passing. I think a lot of us hold ourselves back here. If I have regrets about looking for gender euphoria early in my transition, it's: uncritically following "passing guides" (these checklists created more anxiety than they helped w/my dysphoria) being afraid to stand out or look silly,…

Freshly peeled boy (he was stinky and matted from his weeks in the cone recovering from abdominal surgery). He's recovered great from his blockage, which was around 5 or 6 weeks ago now. And I think he actually enjoys this haircut? (This may become an annual groom - I want him used to it so that when he gets older and needs the extra help, it isn't scary.)
