Totally new to this fun creative art form..watching your videos is a real eye opener..I'm 82 and will never, ever get anywhere near your talent...but it's thrilling to watch your dolls to life. Thank you so very much for taking your precious time to share your talents and techniques . SINCERELY 😅
You will be surprised how fast you gain talent. I’m glad you are enjoying your new hobby. I love to learn new things too.
This was such a gift from you to anybody watching. My doll face is coming along and I never would have known where to begin without this video. I look forward to the eyes and thank you!
That’s wonderful!! I’ll be uploading the eyes soon. I’m hard at work. 😊
Wonderful video. Your voice and the way you narrate are very calming, while still being informative. I like that you don't sound rushed but you don't just ramble like some I've watched. I also love to have felting videos on while I felt and I can guarantee that yours will be the most used. :-) Thank you!
That’s great thank you 😊 yes I like to listen to felting videos also while I felt. Too stabby to watch television. My poor fingers.
I love just how you explain everything thank you so much!
That’s great, yes the eye video will be next and I will go nice and slow.
I am delighted to discover you! I have been felting for a couple of years with some success, but I see now how much better it will be to leave some air in the wool. Thank you for offering your extraordinarily excellent instructions for free. Your skill and your generosity are deeply appreciated. I can't wait to tell all of my felting friends about your channel. Thank you.
Wow thank you so much! I’ll be doing another face hopefully this weekend so be on the lookout. ❤️
Great tips and instructions. I just ordered through your links. Thank you.
Great thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Definitely going to be a repeat watcher of this one! How fun to see the Sanderson sisters come alive, really looking forward to this series.
Thank you 😊
So happy to have found you. Ready to graduate to human character's so much out there on animal sculptures but so little on human figures. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Wonderful. I will be showing hands soon. That’s always a trouble spot.
@@leightfootfelts I can't wait :) Liked,subscribed and rang the bell. :)
Thank you 😊
I'm a beginner.. I learned a huge amount, especially about taking.ones time .. about leaving the air in at first, etc brilliant. Thanks for sharing
That’s great! Yes I think finding that balance of felting the life out of something versus leaving the air in to sculpt and firm the surface layer only was a tough one to learn, but makes all the difference. So glad the videos could help.
I’m so glad I found you! It’s so relaxing watching you. I felt no pressure or stress to get something done or not done. Love that! I subscribed! Can’t wait to start a face. Will watch them all. Thank you so much!
Yes no stress is great. It’s supposed to be fun right? 😊
Dank u wel dat u dit heeft gefilmd .Ik heb er weer veel van geleerd! Vriendelijke groet uit Nederland.
U bent van harte welkom! Bedankt voor het kijken.
Very helpful video. Especially I. Learned to keep air in the added features.
That’s so great to hear. 😊
I always think of the way the fluffy areas tighten up without poking them like the drawstrings in the waist of pants. You pull one string but it brings all of the fabric with it...if that makes sense.
Yes wonderful analogy, I will remind my viewers of this visual if you don’t mind. 👍
New Subbie and new to felting! I loved watching you create and sculpt! Look forward to the next video!
Welcome and thank you!!
Love it
Thank you
I'm back & working on a face for a house elf instead of one of my forest dwellers. Good thing I can back up to follow up on doing this as you go. I already scrapped the first nose. I'm using the purple Spiral needle & Linen MC-1 in Linen for the skin tone. I'll share a picture on FB when I get done. Thanks so much! I'll be binge watching all of these tutorials when you finish them too!
Yes I can’t wait to see your people. Send me a link somehow. Argh the yard work is almost all done and maybe I’ll get some free time. 45 bags of mulch went down. 🥵
Gracias, Gracias..... están los subtitulo en español. Te amo!!!!
oh Dios
lo solucionaste para que funcione?
Yesssss......
Hi I just subscribed to your channel. I've recently, like in the last week found heard about felting for the first time, ordered me a little starter kit with different colors of wool, a bunch of tools and extra needles and a bunch of other stuff and also I made a little fairy doll. All in the same week! I'm making my little fairy to go into my miniature dollhouse project that I'm starting. Do you have any tutorials on how to do the facial features on a very tiny fairy? I think her head is actually smaller than the gumballs you used to get out of the quarter machines. Everything else is done on her except her nose, eyes and mouth. Well she has them but I don't like them. I also need to find out how to make her wings. I would love to watch any of the videos that you have to help me. Thank you for your time. I hope you have a great day! Thank you.
That’s great! Just keep practicing and for the tiny faces a hint of a nose might work better. Living felt has some great beginner tutorials. You won’t get much detail on something so small. The Waldorf style also doesn’t include faces so maybe check those out. Overall have fun! Stay tuned for more videos. I will go over wings when the witches are done. I will make it back to fairies. Love them!
I'm just tossing my 2 cents in here. I've done a few tiny beings & getting faces in is tough... I agree on just a hint of a nose & mouth. Also there are A LOT of tutorial here on TH-cam for wings. I've watched at least 50! Our channel host here makes my ultimate favorite faces & also has a Face Book page you can see other projects by her. The channel here is new so stay tuned for coming tutorials & re-visit these when you're ready to do bigger pieces too. All bigger ones can be modified for tiny/small ones. Look at Living Felt for anything you could want to make. Also supplies. I got addicted to felting watching them all & every Weds they have new projects. Have fun but do your chores first. lol Time zips by while felting!
Thanks! All great info and suggestions. 😊
Hola? Como lograr un rostro más juvenil? Gracias tendrá algún vídeo? Saludos desde Chile
¡Gracias! Voy a hacer una muñeca infantil. La muñeca Coraline de la película. Haría los ojos más grandes y más juntos y haría las mejillas grandes como un querubín. Eso hará un niño más joven. un mentón más pequeño también.
Привет, мне нравятся твои поделки, можешь сделать субтитры на испанском? Извините за орфографию, пришлось делать это с переводчиком. Спасибо
I will see if I can figure out how to do that. Thank you. You may have luck holding your phone to the speaker with google translate too. Worth a try. 👍
@@leightfootfelts Ohhhhhh I'II try it too. Thanks a los. You are very kind. . A hug
At 25 minutes: is that Donatella Versace? 😅
Lol I always see the Easter island statues.
Where are you?
Posting video as we speak ❤️
