Hi, from New Zealand! I just discovered needle felting & your RU-vid channel was the best, you did a great job explaining to a newbie. I will be giving it a go. Just live the lavender Fields. All the best to you & your fairies.🌻
Love wooly Wednesday ! I’m am not able to watch live. ( I’m lucky to be still be working, I work for a company making medical devices and moved to second shift for social distancing) so I watch replays. I’m very new to this craft but I think I will love it. I have ordered from you lovely ladies so I’ll be starting the learning process.,I’m loving your wool. I did order wash board and wet felting supplies so can’t wait to start. Thank you and be safe
Missed the live, watching on rainy Sunday afternoon. I like the taking artistic license to develop a piece of art. It then becomes an original. Thanks!
This was fabulous! Learn more each time I watch! My take away was drafting out the wool to make it thinner or thicker. The bushes were cool to watch! You can allow it to lump for a bush and then pull it to make low bushes. Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing your techniques and your views on how to begin landscape felting. I love painting, drawing, and I know I will love trying this.
I watched the live show for a little bit (I was working...) and I just watched it again and I got a ton of ideas. I can't wait to sit down on Saturday and try my own. Thanks a lot!
Learning so much on the mixing of colors and building step by step. This is my first tutorial. Bought the English Garden mix and am looking forward to using it. This site makes learning something new fun.
My fave take- away was how you laid the bright color on top very thinly so the darker color shows through. I would love to see the wet/needle combo landscape in the future. Thanks again for sharing your talent/knowledge with us! Rhonda Berman
I’m bummed l missed today’s W W..!! I feel like l’ve been getting my PHD in Nuno and needle felting! I would have never been able to watch all the old videos and learn as much as I have, if not fo the lockdown. Marie, you are a fantastic teacher, at least for how l need to learn! I really appreciate you teaching for free! Enough f0r now... I will be calling y’all tomorrow to make my first purchase. I do love lavender, l use it to help keep moths at bay. And l do love the scent!
Thank you for this video. Yes, I plan to do this and am getting my order ready for some MC1 colors for it One thing I learned was that you can iron your project when completed. I didn't know that. Thank you, Marie!
Love watching your work come to life. I'm going to try a completely needle felted 2d landscape. Have always wet felted the background first. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge :)
Yet another amazing tutorial, thank you so much. Loads of tips and information. Watched wet felting a gnome todsy though and I just may have to do that first 😁
I missed live today so happy to get to watch now. I did the wet felted beachscape with you and it is still hanging on my fireplace. Time to try needle felting a landscape. Your instructions are exceptional, Thank You!
Thank you for being so candid about your visual skills and abilities. I am new to felting and have never been an artist but I am really drawn to this medium. Your calm, have fun, be nice to yourself tone helps me feel like I can do this! Many great tips and a beautiful lavender field result.
Beautiful work I watch every week on the play back and have learned so much watching your videos they are the highlight of my week thank you so much for them. Thankful sarah Riddell
Like you l am mostly self taught but now feel so inspired to try more and keep learning. I to will create a Living Felt inspiration. Debs Felt Like It Australia
Loved this virtual get away! I'm working on mine now:) Looking forward to the next destination! Love the ironing tips! Thank you all for Wooly Wednesdays, especially during this unsettling time...truly a get away!!!
Fun! Everytime I watch these videos I learn more and more...thank you! My fave take-a-way would be the tip to felt at the bottom first, then you can spread the fibers up to make the shape of the bushes & foliage :-)
Cant wait to get started!Have so many ideas running thru my head and can't seem to finish a project.This landscape will motivate me to finish something small.
I am brand new to this. I have a small kit on the way, but what you’re doing here is EXACTLY what I want to do. I love how you’ve helped me look at the photo and see the details and the colors (your description of the path was great! ). I like the concept of “pinch and blend” and put down the base and build up detail after. Will need some advice going forward. When I’m ready for my own project, I’ll be in touch for supplies and suggestions. Thank you so much!
I missed the live show because I was making masks and forgot it was Wednesday, just too much to do. Love this Marie, you always make everything look so easy. I love making these little landscapes and keep precut fabric and felt on hand for when I do get some time to myself I can felt one and I almost have every color in the MC1. I always end up doing a fall or winter scene because that's my favorite times of the year.
Great video. I'm going to use this method for both pet portraits and travel photos. My fave takeaway is using the mat board to outline the project. I'll have to get some mats now. (I'll have to pretend to smell the lavender since my nose doesn't like it).
I love ordering from you and especially enjoy the content of your videos. Thank you for taking the hassle out of doing this art. You’ve put everything so nicely together for everyone. Fiber arts are awesome!
Missed you on Wednesday , happy to start my week with you. I'm enjoying felting pictures & ready to try something on a felt sheet, I think the smooth surface will work better for me with the transfer pen.
I loved this Wooly Wednesday! It showcased some of my favorite MC1 colors! One thing I would add (for those who for whatever reason don’t have access to a software that can reverse the image - or like me - forgot that tip from an earlier episode and went off to do my own thing) You can also print the image normally without flipping and trace the BACK with your image transfer pen and a light box (or bright window!) and then put your picture down on the felt or fabric you’re transferring to and you’ll see it the “right” way before ironing. I guess this is the lazy method 😂
Darn... I was hoping to catch you live this week and then got caught up doing something else!! I'm doing my first 2D felted picture of a phoenix rising as a lockdown gift for my sister as we live quite far apart and I'm sending her a little pamper box to make her smile 😊 I'm in the Midlands, UK and I wish I could find a supplier that has the variety that you have, I love watching the faeries do their show and tell. Thank you for another great Woolly Wednesday, I have learnt so much from your videos and Facebook page, you have made isolation an easier place to be!! 🤗🌈
Great tutorial as always. Wooly Wednesdays are my favourite time of the week. You have given me the confidence to try a 2D landscape and will show and tell if it’s not a disaster. So wish we could buy MC1 in the U.K.
I saw one of 2 fellow viewers ask this question today in the live chat and I’d love to know the answer (I noticed now that the live chat is not available after the live finished, so I am sorry if you answered already); Do you ever think in the future that you might have a UK version of livingfelt website?? Random question but answer would mean lots to all uk viewers 😅😂😊 BTW I can’t thank you enough for another 2D tutorial; it’s all I’ve been asking you guys for video suggestions so thank you for making that happen 🙏🏼
Thanks for another great tutorial Marie. I accidentally bought prefelt from and not just felt. Could you please tell me what that is used for? I just do 2D and still a beginner at felting. Thank you!
You´re awesome! I loved your class! Thanks for sharing with us this beautiful landscape project! I´m going to try it! Greetings from Mexico City! I have a question, what level of difficulty would it be? Thank you for answering. :)
Beaux champs de lavande (beautiful lavender fields!) Loved the tutorial! Marie, on another topic..I can't find "New Directions for Felt an ancient craft! Could you help me find one? I think some on Amazon are like $115.00. Does that sound right? Thanks.
AKA Chantal Wolf Thanks for another wonderful tutorial! I now know how to create more realistic bushes and a better looking sky. What is corriedale good to felt?
Thank you so much - I really enjoyed watching this yesterday, and hope to start the project very soon. How would you finish off the edges of the picture so that the fibre does not lift or fray off? Best wishes and keep well xxxx
Tracy, you can put it under a mat and frame it, you can trim the edges back and then needle felt them down, or before you needle felt the details on, you can fold them IN towards the main area of your picture.
Thank you for your explanation about needle felting a 2D landscape! Needle felting in 2D is added to my wishlist ;). I didn't catch why you are ironing your landscape in the end, is that a mandatory thing or optional?
Beautiful! Looks like pastels! I am a painter who uses a basic palette of 8 or less colors. Could you do a video making a beautifully detailed scene like this ONLY mixing wool colors (rather than having to have a huge variety of colors as shown). Perhaps using pet combs as blending tools. I love your company and MC1 wool! Everything I use is purchased from your company. I just can’t afford to buy every color.
Some pens last longer when laid flat, other don't mind being propped up right, such as in a typical pen and pencil holder. For the Iron-on transfer pen, is there a preferred storage position that will help sustain them?
I think it is the copic markers (?) that should be laid flat. I've read that you can pinch off the fiber tip and let it sit in some water to re-wet, then put it back on to the iron transfer pen.
Thanks for adding to you tube. It will help to go through this a few times. Can I cut my corriedale fibres to make them shorter as my order for MC1 hasn't arrived yet . Ta
