So great! Love the personalities. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the little Polar Bear & Narwhal you have in you shop!

How about making.... Birdies (I know you said 4-legged critters, but I think little fat...

Great advice! I always make a little pile of mini wool "batts" while I'm working. I take a small tuft of wool & kind of break up the direction of fibers by pulling it in all different directions...

I agree with Feltfinland! I find that looking at CARTOON eye expressions helps a lot, they are so exaggerated that you can really see what parts of the eye area get the specific emotion you want....

I keep the book "UNIQUELY FELT" by Christine White, on hand at all times. It is kind of like a general resource for all things felt. It starts with all the basic info about tools, wool, techniques....

They are wonderful! I remember the first things I felted were as hard as rocks cause I over felted... I found that yes, you can felt too much, the point where the wool just stops moving & becomes...

I agree with all the suggestions! I always give my pieces a "haircut" using little sharp sewing scissors when I'm done felting. Helps make the piece look finished! Great hedgehog, so cute!

These are LOVELY! They really do look like drawings, charcoal even. I'd love to see them on display, I bet from afar they look very different & then what a surprise to see the wool texture up close!

Beautiful job! What kind of wool do you use? I love the finished texture, so smooth & tight! Such character in his face, too!

OMG! That is about THE CUTEST EVER! You got his shading & wrinkles perfect! Fantastic! Going on my Needle Felted Pinterest board right now!

Thanks disel! I have too many ideas, just not enough time in the day! I'm thinking it needs to be something BIG...

Thank You All! I'm excited cause we are going on an Alaskan Cruise in 3 weeks & he'll be there with us for all the fun!



I haven't done a whole chicken yet, this is actually my first attempt at...

Hi! I just wanted to introduce my newest needle felted sculpture! He's based off of my logo & I made him cause sooo many people asked me if I felted chickens. Well, now I have!

I think the most...

Fantastic! I especially love the top of the tree, such a great solution to create the twisty-kind-of-wind-blown look! I love the look of wool that has been felted enough to keep it's shape, but still...

Hi Allison! I've seen your Wool Flowers before (actually Pin'd them on my Pinterest board!!) & I've trolled your Etsy shop before! Your photos are beautiful! Welcome!

I just found this website yesterday, another good resource for learning more about selling your work (specifically for Etsy)

Still need sometime to look more into...

I so do this too! I usually just throw the wool into a pot w/ boiling water & it get felty too! It's okay since i needle felt & it helps the process along, but have been dreaming of a drum carder,...

LOVE the feathers for the tail! What an innovative solution! I'm partial to the chickens ;)

Can't wait! Your work is beautiful!

Awesome! I find doing figures to be really intimidating, but you did a fantastic job! Love the photos of the two of them together, really adds to the piece to know that it's a caricature of a real...

Hey Pinto, I agree with Papa, it's hard to tell what exactly you're having trouble with. Problem with anatomy of the leg, or problem with the structure (felting) the leg.

If you're having trouble...

Fantastic! I love the "floppy lips" on the dogs! How did you get them to stand in your photos?!?!? Such great poses, looks like they are really walking!

HI Mileysean! Welcome! I'm new(ish) to this forum too, but know that THE very best felters in the world are on here! They are a wealth of info & advise! Please post photos of your work, I love to see...

Thanx Lyn & Ben! I'm excited to get back into the community! It's funny cause I recognize many of you that I look forward to reconnecting with, but there are also so many talented newbies that I'm...

What a wonderful present for an amazing lady! So awesome that you spent the time & effort to make her some beautiful (& awesomely cute) figures!

Also try using "soft" fabric paint. If your piece doesn't need to be washed, this should work. I like to paint shadows and color onto my needle felted sculptures and I just buy the Tulip brand soft...
