Just someone who enjoys crafts in spare time.
I don't take commissions any more. I started to feel pressured and stressed about something that was supposed to be fun- so no more of that :/.
Also, I am totally open to doing swaps!

No more commissions- but possibly etsy?
0 min read
Hi there guys!
I have decided to stop taking commissions. It was making me feel stressed and pressured, which just isn't something I want from a past time that was supposed to be fun and chill me out.
I am toying with the idea of setting up an etsy store. That way I can sell stuff I have already completed (then I won't feel pressured while I am part way though a project and it gives me more free reign to pick what I do). What do you guys think?
I am also selling some of my collection as I am somewhat broke at the moment, my tiny shellder £15, my goodra/dragonite hard to be slimy pair £50, my potted shrimp clauncher 3D painting

Mudkip Needlefelt Tutorial
0 min read
I made a tutorial!
Well actually I made 2, because I wasn't sure how much information people would want. So if you want to see how I made Mudkip or give needle felting a go yourself, you can find the basic tutorial here-> http://imgur.com/a/R1qat .Or the extra detailed version, with explanations of felting terms, here -> http://imgur.com/a/8uoBs.
This is my first ever tutorial so feedback and advice would be great!
I hope you find it useful. Would be great to get more people into felting ^^.

Hi, your work is absolutely amazing.
I was lucky enough that my friend bought me the Princess Luna that you made for BUCK con. And she's amazing.
Unfortunately my dog managed to get hold of her, and now she's a little under distress...
Her wings have come off, her tail is a bit loose and her front raised leg is a bit out of shape.
I was wondering if you could tell me a bit about her construction, I'm gonna attempt to fix her, but as it's my first attempt at needle felting I could do with all the help I can get. (I'd always planned on starting, didn't plan on it being like this though....)

Your feltwork is amazing! I actually want to try a shot at needle felting and get the same compactness in my work as you do.
I only have a couple questions as a newbie. I've heard a few times that you use a base for your work, what kind of base is it just a whole lot of wool or something else? Is it customary to use a base or couldn't you just work with the wool you have?
Also What is overfelting and how do you know when you're doing it? I feel like if you want that much firmness without little hairs sticking out you have to poke a lot, so how does that not lead to overpoking?

Hi there, sorry this is so late! I check back here pretty infrequently, but I come with answers (if you still need them) 
The base I use is lambs wool, it's useful for 2 reasons: it's cheaper than the wool top, and it felts faster so it speeds up the project time.
Over-felting is when you have felted so much the area can no longer be shaped or manipulated, there is also much more resistance when you use the needle. To be honest I have never really had an issue with over-felting, so I can't be 100% what you can do to avoid it, I think it's more of a problem with smaller projects.Usually when I am done with a project they still have a little give to them (if you squeezed them firmly you could partly distort their shape).
I hope you do give felting a go! It's very relaxing and is super easy to pick up.

Thanks for your input, I don't know if the type of wool i started with is lambs but I have broken a few needles in the process. I'm still learning and just trying to work small for now so i don't waste anything. I started using yarn as a base at first and so far its worked in terms of keeping stiff but i realize if i wind it up too tightly it gets too stiff so much that it shows resistance, I've also heard some people use stuffing as a base so maybe I'll try that
Hmmm, I think you might be making it a bit harder for yourself by using yarn. The type I use looks like this (people sometimes use it as stuffing): www.worldofwool.co.uk/products…
I have felted over a crocheted base before, but that was filled with stuffing. Seems like you are currently playing on hard mode. If you have a craft store you use, you could try searching/asking for carded wool/core wool/wool batting. Hope this helps

I'm so glad I found your stuff it is absolutely adorable! The attention to detail is incredibly wonderful.
Thanks so much! I do drive myself a little insane trying to get things just so
