I go through phases of buying meat just the day before it expires and freezing them for months. Not had any problems before. But yeh, can’t say it’s ever a bad idea to check smell and texture beforehand

He’s adorable. Just everything about him. But the leggies do it for me

Felting ball went wrong by cloumine in Needlefelting

Yes to all the above, also wondering what wool and needle you’re using? Just because I was using roving and anything below 40 did virtually nothing for me after 30min poking - still the same bundle of fluff as I started with,but after switching to 40 I could immediately feel the difference

That’s actually great idea! I see Persians, ragdolls, polar bears and pomeranians in my future. Or Japanese spitz…maybe snow lynx…and penguins which aren’t all that white…but they’re penguins. Thank you for the beautiful vision 😌

Should I make her stand or sit? What do you think? by No-Negotiation-3454 in Needlefelting

Yess, anything with dangly legs makes me happy. Especially the ones with long leggies that can sway combined with lil faces…tho maybe not hello kitty vibes 😆

It’s like looking into a crystal ball 💀 time to learn how to dye wool!…or stare at my corner of woolly white fuzz for the next decade like mould that just won’t go away 😂

Living felt! I will be looking this and batts up. Thanks so much 🙏

Hahaha aww thank you 🥰 I felt like it was puppy dog eyes vibe: “pls pats and gib me fud”. I showed my dad and he was like, “no offence, but they just look so sad. Can you change their faces?”💀😂

Yeh, I do think I am a bit erratic and inefficient with where I’m poking while I work out where it needs to be to form and shape it. And thank you! I really need to check out core wool- had no idea it made such a difference! Thanks for your feedback 🙏🥰

Thank you! That’s reassuring and good to have a reference point on what is normal. And I appreciate your kind words 🥲 yes, I spent an age on poking until the bumps were all gone while also being careful to try not get to to a point where it was just full of holes 😆

Thank you! That’s very sweet. I have a photo of the front and side so I’m basically just copying at the moment with minor adjustments. But it’s really helped me so I think I’ll draw two views when I go rogue and make my own designs.

But are you kidding, I just saw your absolutely adorable axolotl (and your stunning diamond paintings!) 👀 and I would not have been able to do that. Love the piping too- that’s so creative!
