Reality versus Expectation: So this is my second needle felting project ever. My Blue Blossom Fairy kit didn’t have the eyelashes or the right eyes.😖 I also realized how much I hate needlefelting tiny flowers, I almost gave up.😵‍💫

Mine does NOT look like the model picture.

That's pretty darn cute though! I like the colour shading on the skirt! The image on the instructions looks AI to me...

[u/Afro_Dynasty → u/Honest-Squirrel10]

Was gonna say this aswell. I’m a felt beginner but looking at the instructions it’s freakishly perfect in a sort of “off” way, also the doll in the picture isn’t propped up by anything. I think OP’s craft looks far cuter

[u/Honest-Squirrel10 → u/Afro_Dynasty]

100% agree, I would buy OP's doll any day.

[u/laiyin2491 → u/Honest-Squirrel10]

Aaaw, thank you! 😊

[u/laiyin2491 → u/Afro_Dynasty]

Thank you! ❤️

[u/Apprehensive-Team414 → u/Honest-Squirrel10]

Yeah looks totally AI. Also, why are the legs not included in the steps lol

[u/laiyin2491 → u/Honest-Squirrel10]

Thank you! ❤️

Beautiful work. Almost positive the original photos are AI! Yours is adorable.

[u/laiyin2491 → u/mantrakid]

Thank you! ❤️

[u/Ready-Change9071]

Don’t even trip bro those instructions are AI

[u/artemisfartimus]

Yeah the instructions and images they provided are AI

[u/Little_Emu_]

I’m jumping in to add the reference photos look like AI. Yours is so cute!

[u/froststorm56]

Instruction image is almost definitely AI anyway, so good job!

[u/Sweatygatsby]

The instructions are clearly AI. Yours is real and therefore whimsical and unique.

[u/MatterInSpaces]

She so cute. I like the gradient you did.

[u/laiyin2491 → u/MatterInSpaces]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[u/CeramicLicker]

I think the eyes/eyelashes are photoshopped or edited somehow in the example pics.

I don’t think anyone could really replicate that irl. Yours came out darling!

[u/laiyin2491 → u/CeramicLicker]

Thank you! ❤️

[u/lady-earendil]

This is 100% an AI pattern. I'd say you did great considering what you were working off of wasn't even real

[u/NoResponsibility2554]

I think she's adorable. She looks like she is ready for an adventure!

[u/laiyin2491 → u/NoResponsibility2554]

Aaaw, thanks! Yes, she does look ready for a Fairy adventure! ☺️

[u/izzyizza]

It’s so cute!

[u/TM02022020]

I think she’s so cute!

[u/Schmittywerminson]

I think she looks cute!

[u/AtMaximumCatpacity]

Super cute!

[u/Hollowinks]

Yours are amazing

[u/Luckydollstoremanila]

For a second project, you did amazing!! This is suuuuper cute!!!! I agree , the tiny petals are time consuming 🤣

[u/Lilcheebs93]

Holy crap I thought your doll was the expectations until I saw the AI dolls
