I love needle felting because it relaxes me, I enjoy just losing myself in my project. Watching you work so skillfully with wax though has me on the edge of a nervous breakdown.😂 I would end up creating a horrendous mess and knowing my luck, could end up in A&E with burns. I really admire your dedication and your attention to detail is just fantastic. Thanks for sharing. 💕💕
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing! I am new to needle felting, and I had no idea how feet are made. I had seen them on various sites, but without clear information on how they are made. I made a little mouse the other day - poor little fellow had platypus feet. Your tutorial is so amazing! I am going to gather the various tools so I can get started and make another mouse. I am so excited! Thank you, thank you!.
Great tutorial, working area was so well lit and great camera work.-in focus! Tiny toes are hard! I will give it another go with your method. Subscribed! Looking forward to seeing more.
I just found you and I am sooo Happy that I did! I absolutely L♥️VE Your work. Simply AMAZING❣️ Thank you so very much for sharing your FABULOUS Talent❣️ {{{Hugs}}} from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you and so happy you enjoy our projects. Please do come join our facebook group facebook.com/groups/mumsmakery (lots of fluff minded peeps and friendly folk there) ..have a great day!
In some of your pics your waxed feet, noses etc look really shiney. Do you use a varnish on top of the wax? Lovely work by the way! I bought some of the clear wax from your Etsy store to help me make my bears claws and noses but would love a bit more shine x
Hi, Sorry only just saw your comment ... you can pop a bit of varnish on them .. very tips of claws .. but do bear in mind that varnish isn't flexible and the wax may make it crack .. I suggest testing it out first before applying it to a loved project and see if it does what you want :) I need to find out how I turn on notifications for comments hehe :)
I have a question, you mention the elasticity of the filters wax... would it work for a hand or foot that will be posed and reposed repeatedly in, for example, stopmotion animation?
Hi, I wouldn't really recommend it for that kind of moment as with small adjustments it would be fine the starting and end point of an animation sequence would probably be to big and the wax sets quite hard so it would have to be warmed to get the movement. Hope that helps :)
@@wolffchadd4440 It's not my area so I wouldn't like to guess, the only thing I can think that is supple enough is something like plasticine but I am sure a google search will yield much more informative results lol .. good luck with the stop motion animation :)
Hi, they are available on our website - www.mumsmakery.co.uk/products/armature-assistant is the full set or you can purchase singles if you prefer here - www.mumsmakery.co.uk/products/armature-assistant-single-part
Hi :) sorry for the delay in replying (i don't always realise people have left comments lol) .. if you use just beeswax then it can crack over time .. the felters wax however has more elasticity .. neither will become brittle but don't forget if you get light cracking just warm it up with a little gentle heat and rub it with your finger and any cracks will disappear :)
Hi, I recently purchased some wax and a snow drip kit from you. Only just got around to trying the wax on an ear I’m making for a dog sculpture but I got in a mess with it just flaking everywhere!
Hi, it is always a good idea to do a test with new products as like anything it does require a little getting used to. If you want to pop over to our website and shoot me a message or email I can see if I can give you any tips or instruction that may help. Many thanks, Sam
This is a great! I can't find a video where you actually make a rat. A dear friend of mine just loves rats and I want to make her one so I would love to see one where you put it all together the feet and nose and ears to make the actual rat :)
it is great fun .. obviously it takes a bit of practice so have a play with it first :) do come share your makes in our facebook group facebook.com/groups/mumsmakery
Hi, as I make the feet individually I use another piece of thinner wire to join the leg armature to the main body armature. usually something around a 26 - 28swg (not AWG) should work, hope this helps.

@@MumsMakery it does, thank you. Would you have any suggestions on what I could use instead?

Amazing. Congrats i really love it!
Thank you so much :)
These are amazing and very helpful, thanks. I'm wondering though, do they get dried and brittle and break after a time?

Hi... its a product that we make called an armature assistant. But yes it is also a jig :)
@@SamanthaLoughlin thank you
How do u attach it when they are done?
