Fun video! Always hate to miss the lives bc of work, but love Dawn's creations so much! Take away on this one for me is seeing how the resist is used in the cracked mud technique and how to cut out and trim the piece! Thanks so much for a fun video!
Take away: there are different techniques to felting, it is the end result that matters. Very excited to use the silk paper I recently made, which was inspired by Wyoming sunsets. These would be a lovely house warming welcome gift to new neighbors moving into a neighborhood.
It was great to see the various methods as well as some ways to fix things if needed. The series has given me some great ideas. Now off to learn to make silk paper so that I can do the project this weekend.
Thanks so much!! I really want to try a vessel!! I will let you see mine when it's done. I think I'll start simple with the friendship one, or maybe not. LOL. I'll see what mischief I can get into. 🙂
the wooden skewer is a good idea to feel where the resist is. i had found the tip of the scissors is not the best palpation tool. thanks for sharing your ideas!!
Dawn is such a lovely teacher and the vessel is beautiful! I am going to try to use the techniques shown this week on Oui yogurt jars. I hate to throw those out, even for recycling, because they are just so cute. I just have to figure out what size circle resist I’ll need to use.
Dawn- You are an excellent teacher and I adore your wonderful personality, thoughtful comments, and gorgeous vessel directions. Thank you so much. That silky paper was fantastic- nearly too pretty to cut. :)
Wow, just wow. I absolutely love the outcome but fear I lack in patience and commitment to achieve this. Maybe one day! Brilliant tutorial, thanks for sharing.
Dawn this class was amazing. I learned so many new techniques with you and Marie. I'm off to find the silk paper class. Thank you so much. Silk hankies too, I need to check the Living Felt shop for them.
I've been wanting to try the cracked mud for a while! So glad to see a tutorial on it. I just got ball brause in Novemeber and have used it a few times now. How do you make sure it doesn't mold inside? I keep flashing back to my daughter's gross pool squirt toys. hahaha
I may need to just try it….I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the mud resist piece/cutting it out. The finished project however is gorgeous!
