Currently, 5 out of the 6 elements in my Thanksgiving Dinner have been completed. The only element left is the asparagus, which I’m planning to complete by tomorrow.
The methods of creating the first five elements are shown below:
Plate: First cut two identical pieces of cloth then sewed together the bottom portion with minimal stuffing. Then cut small portions off each of the four corners only to sew them back together with stuffing for a slight 3D effect.
Macaroni and Cheese: first felted into long strands of yellow wool, then felted each strand into itself after cutting them into appropriate lengths.
Mashed Potatoes: Felted each ball first then combined the two scoops via felting.
Turkey: First cut out the individual pieces. Then used reactive dyes to dye the cloth into a light brown color. Then sewn the pieces together after putting in sufficient wool stuffing. Then added velcro to the sides so the wings and drums become detachable.
(Planned) Asparagus: Cut out circular sponge pieces, wrap them in green, then add texture on the top tip area by stacking green cloth then cutting them into the desired shape.
