Needle-Felted Radish

The radish is an under-rated vegetable. With its beautiful colour and distinctive tail, it makes for a great needle-felting model.
It was also quite simple to felt. I started with the pink colour which makes up the majority of his body. After sculpting this portion, I attached a bit of white to the bottom which I then blended by going over it with a fine needle again and again. The tail took a bit of experimentation, but eventually all I did was take a bit of white wool roving and roll it between the palms of my hands, until it became a very skinny tail-like piece. I attached the end of it to the bottom of the radish and it looks just about right.
For the stem, I used the same technique that I did for the carrot, except that I felted the green pieces a little more before I attached them. I also cut them off instead of leaving them long, like I did for the carrot.
Here he is, my radish:
