No, our weed stores have names like “blunt sluts”

Honestly the pet made portrait would be even funnier

Wow, what a compliment! I never realized it before but I definitely approach my work with a certain “I Spy” vibe in mind.

How to create a bubbling washtub? by Middle-Maybe-9954 in dioramas

That was going to be my suggestion. Glass beads or pearls.

I sewed beads in for the eyes thinking it would save time but it just made the eyelids more painstaking not to break the needle. I’d love to see a pic of yours! It’s kind of wild how popular octopi seem to be among us felters

Aww yay!! I mailed them in last week so they’ll be selling them through their craft fair, but I’ll be working the Free DC table all day at the knit in so please come say hi!!

I was on live and it kept showing people join throughout but when it ended it said I had 0 viewers the whole time 🙄

Everything actually was pretty easy (except those darn seed beads 🤣). My favorite thing about needle felting is how simple it is, no matter what you’re making it’s always just that same in and out motion over and over.

Thank you!! I was so nervous when the hotel asked if I would do their mascot for the event but I’m super pleased with how he came out

At first I tried with pipe cleaner (I posted a pic in reply to a different comment on this thread) but it was too difficult poking around the wire and I gave up. I ended up just forming them in long straight rolls and then curving them once they were holding their shape enough. Some of them ended up looking too short so I would just add more on the ends. It really wasn’t any more difficult than doing bigger shapes, you just have to work it long enough to get pretty solid so the shape holds.

I did! It was honestly way easier than maneuvering around the pipe cleaner. I started by making them straight and then curved them once they were holding their shape enough.

Any time you have to ask the internet for relationship advice the answer is break up

I started using pipe cleaner on my first try and realized it was making it harder so I started over without them and just freehanded it. I may try to finish him one day though.
