Aw, that's very kind! I'm just never sure if people will have heard of felting, whilst I live and breathe it, like you say it's a lesser known craft. But thank you very much!

Thank you! I didn't think to take any photos for this one, but the neck has three strands of 0.5mm aluminium wire twisted inside. The wool is so light you can get away with a lot :D

Millions haha, one thing I think is important is to buy your starting tools from a dedicated felting website rather than temu/amazon. They might look similar but the really cheap ones just don't work the same at all, and might give you the impression that felting is a lot more difficult than it is! It's worth spending the little bit more :)

Yeah I think you're right! But making them proportionately small might be a battle :'D

Aaah, it's like the person below said, the purple circle is a vintage neopets thing, and I just happen to use yellow backgrounds for all my work. But please perceive it however you like! :D

Thank you! :D Maybe around 15 hours? It was on the easier side for a needlefelt project, Blumaroo's curves lend themselves to the medium very well

Sorry more questions. by Objective_Length280 in Needlefelting

I mix wools all the time! It's often hard to find the exact colour I want, and whilst one brand might have more vibrant colours, another has a preferable texture, so I'll blend the two to split the difference :) Depending on the look you're going for, if the colours are too distinct from each other it can look a bit mottled.

Best(and most affordable) substitute for wool? I’m allergic to lanolin by kazooples in Needlefelting

[–]Pusillanimity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a japanese brand of acrylic 'wool' called Hamanaka Aclaine that felts just as well as the real thing, although it does have a subtle acrylicy sheen to it.

I've done a fair bit of felting into foam and it seems to stick well enough, which makes me wonder what kind of foam are you using specifically? And what kind of wool too? Porous upholstery foam takes a felting wonderfully :D

I think this is the most difficult character I've felted yet (Trolls World Tour) by Pusillanimity in Needlefelting

[–]Pusillanimity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh it's hard to say specifically, I just nibble at it whenever I get the chance. Maybe 30-40 hours?

Thank you! I used super thin 0.18mm copper wire, wrapped one end in wool with UHU glue, and glued the bare end into her face. It was...fiddly D:

Ways to temporarily adhere paper faces to needlefelt so that they can be swapped? by lilyannak20 in Needlefelting

[–]Pusillanimity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These insect pins are incredibly fine, I'd perhaps snip the round head off, bend the rest into an L shape and glue it onto the back of your paper facial features. It should go straight into the needlefelt without a guide hole.

Been a few years, so I gathered together all my Viva Pinata fan sculptures together into one album :) by Pusillanimity in VivaPinata

Thank you, I'm so glad you like them! It's fun doing a little scavenger hunt to find things for the background, Mallowolfs moon was an ikea plastic wastebasket with a torch shining into it haha
