It would make a great beanie hat at 16:00 😀😛 Love how it turned out. I learnt a lot. The technique for the ridge at the bottom is very clever, Marie ! 👌🏻
I LOVE this pared down video format. Watching the WW broadcast is great for the initial watching, but I found that this version is great for watching and referring to while felting. The base on the vessel makes it look more “finished” while still organic. Thanks😊
I have just discovered felting. I love the concept. Marie, your tutorial is wonderful and I am looking forward to getting started on my first project. Thank you.
I have done a couple of vessels (more like little pots). Until this video I did not even realize that an open resist would produce the same without having to cut away a large piece of the felt (even though I can reuse in other work and it is not wasted). Thank you for always bringing something new to the table. I will try the open resist felting.
I loved making my vessel and watching the video. It was helpful and guided me through the whole process. I am very pleased how it turned out and my next one will be a snap. 😉
I just love, love, LOVE the colors on this! I went out this afternoon and picked up some supplies I didn't have (like painter's plastic and more regular bubble wrap), and I plan to dig into this tomorrow afternoon!
I have learned a lot whit this video, because I had no idea how felted things were made. I’ll try to use this technique to do hats to Waldorf dolls. By the way, I’ll watch the other videos to learn more. Thank you so much.
Thanks Marie never tried that for the bottom rim. Will be giving it a try loved the new format worked good. Also thanks to the fairies loved the colors.😍
WIP. My bowl became a bag in blues. Didn't have the fire bowl colors. Used silk as embellishment fibers. Got to the soft felt stage and found that the silks hadn't stuck. Adding wisps of wool over them.
Yet another amazing tutorial Marie..thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.. I feel I'm gaining so much from your channel. I live in the UK. I purchase most of my supplies online. When searching for the viscose what name am I looking for? Just searching "viscose" brings up all sorts.. any idea?
..Sorry! Hit send too soon.! As I was saying, really happy with the finished product but I have a lot of the black fibres coming thru the colors, should I have rubbed it more before doing the embellishments?
HI Linda, there is always some halo = fibers migrate in all directions. If you are not pleased with the result, try putting a bit more of the embellishment fibers on top.
Hello thanks for making this video, I appreciate it. Can you please explain, how far over the edge is the wool supposed to extend to? An inch? Thanks, Marianna
For rolling, I thought it only mattered the number of rolls, not the order in which you do them. Is that not the case and why would it matter in which order you roll if the number of rolls ends up the same from all directions?
You can "favor" the direction of shrinkage -- so if wool is going to shrink a certain % overall, and you want to shrink it more in one direction, you can control this not only with the direction of the wool, but also by agitating (whether rolling or rubbing) in particular directions FIRST. So on this vessel, we wanted it to hug the sides before rolling from top to bottom because we wanted it to be a little more narrow AND we didn't want it to start scooting off the resist (since it is an open layout vs. 100% covered over the resist)
Marie, is it possible to make something much bigger and how would we support the weight of soil if we want to make something like a " felted grow pot?"
Not sure how we missed this one. It seems felt grow bags are often used "in" some type of appratus. But if you want it to holds its shape, make it THICKER...consider a more coarse fiber, and make the opening smaller than the circumference.
Nice tutorial 😊 I notice you using cold water. I only comment because I did a class and the teacher used boiling water right from the beginning..which caused the skin on my hands to peel a few days later. 😢
When we first began felting, HOT water was what everyone used...but over time we learned, you can use room temp. water, you SHOULD use room temp. whenever working with fabrics in your design to slow down the process and give the fibers time to migrate through the fabric. You can use hot water in the fulling (shrinking) phase, but you do not need to burn your hands.
WOW!!! Beautiful! I can't wait for my supplies to arrive so I can get started! btw, looking for pool noodles has become a challenge and a quest. Also, what size dowel are you using? Have seen you use them before, but not sure of the diameter. Really appreciate your videos and thank you so much for taking the time to teach us newbs how its done!
What would you put in a felt bowl? Ive made a few and some with trees on and ive made all these scarves that arent really big enough for proer scarves some with landscapes and a poppy painting one and just other interesting looking prices but i dont know what in heck to do with them now. Its like a box of chidls drawings. Its not art. Its not craft its not apparell its just felt bits and bobs. And theyre also too mice to throw away but totally without use to anyone.
Hello @Tinksmeadow ... usually when people tell us this, we find that their fiber is not wet enough. Your water and soap help hold the fibers together while you agitate. They should be wet "through" but not in a soppy puddle. We hope this helps!
Don’t be afraid. I have found that wool is very forgiving. I have been felting for less than two months. I started small and am now working on larger projects. If you ruin something just put it aside. You may find an use for it in a later project.
2023/ Beautiful & you are a wonderful Teacher. Thank you
It would make a great beanie hat at 16:00 😀😛

This is a really beautiful project, I love the colors of the viscose on the brown, I’ll need to make a fire bowl 😍
I wish all tutorials was this pleasant.
Absolutely loved this video; you made it easy to follow and your choice of color is wonderful.....and you have a really nice voice to listen to!
great instruction for beginner i'll be trying this one love it thanks from Melbourne OZ
I LOVE this pared down video format. Watching the WW broadcast is great for the initial watching, but I found that this version is great for watching and referring to while felting.

Thanks😊
I would love a video on wet felting a storage basket
I have just discovered felting. I love the concept. Marie, your tutorial is wonderful and I am looking forward to getting started on my first project. Thank you.
You are a gifted teacher. Thank you for sharing both talents!❤
amazing video ! thanks so much ! needed this to make one of my assignments for my wearable art class
U-oh! I think I just found my new obsession. :)
You are extremely talented! I am amazed with your videos. Just wow!

I would love to try this
Thank you for sharing this ❤I have always wanted to make a bad❤
Thank you for another great tutorial. I have watched all the wet felting tutorials and learn something new every time. Like the new format too.
Fabulous tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and stay well. Happy Holidays!
I just finished mine. I'll post it tomorrow when it's dry. I used totally different colors & wools.
Love how it turned out!😊
I loved the show!!! ... as always! I will be ordering today!!!
I just love, love, LOVE the colors on this! I went out this afternoon and picked up some supplies I didn't have (like painter's plastic and more regular bubble wrap), and I plan to dig into this tomorrow afternoon!
I really liked how the finished project had almost a marble affect. And using a ballon for the form, great idea.
Yet another beautiful project xxx So sorry I missed the beginning of the live, missed the fairies this week xxx
Hi Carey, You can see the live version (with the fairies) under the Wooly Wed playlist :) It is here: th-cam.com/video/np-hIA5NN6s/w-d-xo.html
Love format fast forwarding to condense !!
Wow i really love this and the fire/autumn colours are m favourites. Cant wait to try this out
I have learned a lot whit this video, because I had no idea how felted things were made. I’ll try to use this technique to do hats to Waldorf dolls. By the way, I’ll watch the other videos to learn more. Thank you so much.
Very beautiful
Thank you!!
Thanks Marie never tried that for the bottom rim. Will be giving it a try loved the new format worked good. Also thanks to the fairies loved the colors.😍
very pretty
elegant
I always learn something new from you. Thank you!
Das ist sehr schön geworden!
Vielen Dank!
Great tutorial! And now I suddenly need to order viscose, thanks, Marie
Hi Marie
Great tutorial! I followed it today and did my first bowl! I'm super happy with how it turned out... however....
Love this project. I've made 2 so far
It was a great Vedio have a great weekend.
Excellent tutorial ❤️
Very cool!!
What a great project!! I have tussah silk. Will that work. Not sure I have viscose.
Yes!
Thank you for this video.
Thank U so much for reaching us. My question is the vinegar stage, can I skip it or with that can I replace it because I'm allergic to vinegar. Thanks
Your videos are so great. Question: must you have olive oil soap or does it matter?
Would an oval shaped resist make a taller V shaped vessel?
How do you control the seam...I usually end up displaying it inside put because of my gigantic seams..lol
I was at the doctors sorry I missed all the “”girls”this week. Judy, hope you try this!
You can see the live version (with the fairies) under the Wooly Wed playlist :) It is here: th-cam.com/video/np-hIA5NN6s/w-d-xo.html
Formidable tutoriel, merci beaucoup... j'ai juste un problème de traduction mais l'image seule est explicite
Merci beaucoup. Espérons que Google Translate fonctionne mieux maintenant.
Ok, you just answered my question..

Try viscose fiber :) Thank you for the good words!
..Sorry! Hit send too soon.! As I was saying, really happy with the finished product but I have a lot of the black fibres coming thru the colors, should I have rubbed it more before doing the embellishments?
HI Linda, there is always some halo = fibers migrate in all directions. If you are not pleased with the result, try putting a bit more of the embellishment fibers on top.
Hello thanks for making this video, I appreciate it. Can you please explain, how far over the edge is the wool supposed to extend to? An inch? Thanks,

I am also producing felt items but it is too much hard to sell my product,, can you help me???
nice

So on this vessel, we wanted it to hug the sides before rolling from top to bottom because we wanted it to be a little more narrow AND we didn't want it to start scooting off the resist (since it is an open layout vs. 100% covered over the resist)
Is there a graph of sorts that shows the percentage of shrinkage?
Marie, is it possible to make something much bigger and how would we support the weight of soil if we want to make something like a " felted grow pot?"
Not sure how we missed this one. It seems felt grow bags are often used "in" some type of appratus. But if you want it to holds its shape, make it THICKER...consider a more coarse fiber, and make the opening smaller than the circumference.
Can this project be done with a short fiber bat to get a more stable vessel? And how many layers do you recommend?
Do you rinse it between rolling once the resist is out?
Can you wet felt synthetic sparkle fiber ?
Blend it with your wool. It will not felt on its own, but you can bring in a little and let the wool trap it down.
I see a hat in the making!! 🤞
Another question I have, is how many layers total per side do you recommend to make? Thanks, Marianna

Melanieanne if you are in the U.S. pool noodles are available at Dollar Tree year round for $1.25 👍
what is the name of the soap to use?
feltingsupplies.livingfelt.com/French-Olive-Oil-Soap-For-Wet-Felting--Wet-Felting-Supplies_p_338.html
which soap should i use?
We suggest our Olive oil soap, or a hard milled vegetable based soap.
What would you put in a felt bowl? Ive made a few and some with trees on and ive made all these scarves that arent really big enough for proer scarves some with landscapes and a poppy painting one and just other interesting looking prices but i dont know what in heck to do with them now. Its like a box of chidls drawings. Its not art. Its not craft its not apparell its just felt bits and bobs. And theyre also too mice to throw away but totally without use to anyone.
Can you make a hat this way?
Oh yes, this project is a great primer before trying our Grab and go beanie or any hat class at www.feltingtutorials.com
Sì può usare come cappello
My wool does not stick together
Hello @Tinksmeadow ... usually when people tell us this, we find that their fiber is not wet enough. Your water and soap help hold the fibers together while you agitate. They should be wet "through" but not in a soppy puddle. We hope this helps!
😘
Sorry no sé de q vinagre es me lo pueden decir por fi no entiendo mucho el inglés
My biggest problem, is that I don’t want to ruin the wool, so I fail to start my projects 😢
You might start by doing a small test piece of whatever project you want to do, and that will help with confidence!
Don’t be afraid. I have found that wool is very forgiving. I have been felting for less than two months. I started small and am now working on larger projects. If you ruin something just put it aside. You may find an use for it in a later project.
whats vicos
Viscose is a fiber we use for luster, texture and sheen --- it begins as a tree and is converted to this fiber.
Just a comment. I used the techniqe in this video to make a purse!
