Lento - A Needle Felted Snail

Meet Lento. He’s a stately little guy with bright, curious eyes, a poseable body, and his blue swirl shell.

@irid3sc3nt kindly shared some black wire with me, part of which was used to make the armature I started with for Lento. This was the first time I’ve used an armature for a base and it went fairly well. I love that Lento can be twisted and posed so he’s just the way I want him. He’ll probably be part of STS in a few weeks.

I like the extra bit of yellow on the bottom and the fun swirl of his shell. Your description of his eyes is spot on, he does look curious!
