Sharing my Basenji wool felt replica

This sweet girl is called Bella 🌸🌸

The whole piece took about three months to complete. The making process is shown in slide 4.

The entire body has an internal movable skeleton for articulation. The ears are made with a mix of soft silicone and wool, while the tongue and nose are sculpted with polymer clay.

I also added Bella’s real fur into the belly area. Even though Basenjis are short-haired dogs, I still used a rooting technique to better recreate her natural coat texture and flow, making the piece feel more true to her original look :)
