    Maz here, I watched the live tutorial and now have just re-watched and made my Cookie bear. Thanks Marie and fairies. I have been felting for over a year and a half and always learn something from your WW. Thanks

    I cannot get enough of your channel!!! I have been binge-watching it for **hours** today! I've never needle felted before, and just got some supplies for this Christmas, so I played around and made a small 2D felting scene. I've learned so much from your channel and ready to learn even more. I LOVED the way you explain "firmness" (rare, medium, well done, very well done). I learned years ago in sculpting class that if you can make basic shapes, you can make **anything**.

    I was thrilled to see this little guy come to life, and although I tried to felt along, I'm quite a bit too slow but still continued to stab and watch. I've been a bear collector for years and a doll collector for the past 4 or so. Now I can make cute vintage looking bears for my dolls. I ADORE felting and and watching your tutorials. Loved the tip about how you string the arms to hide the knot. Also using the doll needle for the placement of the limbs. So looking forward to next week with FUR! Thanks so much for all of your fabulous inspiration, Marie. You have such a warm, natural teaching style.

    Thank you so much! I was so happy to see that the streaming was clean and smooth today and enjoyed watching the creation of Cookie. My take aways were the using of the doll needle to mark your place when aligning the arms and legs an using bits of wool to cover the knots! I also loved how you can felt the entire arm or leg and not leave one end fluffy to attach to the body. This will be easier for me! Thank you again! you made my Wednesday so much happier!

    Such a cute bear and I want to make him in honor of your beginning! Your videos gave me to knowledge and confidence to try needle felting and it has opened a whole new creative endeavor for me. Thank you Marie for being creative and adventurous enough to start and to Rodney Gene JR for being giving and supportive!

  • @jacobrandy99
    @jacobrandy99 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It was such a joy to be able to join live today! Something I learned was how to join the arms and legs to the body. I never realized you can just use the inner part rather than threading the needle from the outer part of the limbs. Can't wait to make muffin!!

  • @fionabruce9886
    @fionabruce9886 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I bought the Berry Bear kit a few years ago but didn't know how to string it. Now I do so I will have to get him out of my storage tote! Love the step by step tutorial as always. The rooster is phenominal!

    More binge watching. I definitely need to know how to order the roving/batting & also the skin tones. I looked elsewhere but wasn't too impressed. Could be that all I know of felting, I've learned from you with well over 22 hours of binge watching. My sister checked your site, she's the felter, and she says your prices are reasonable! I call that a good endorsement. lol I am so making this bear & a little doll for my first projects.

I am looking forward to making some in a few colors. They are an adorable project that I feel sure I will be able to do well after making the Bunnies from Easter Eggs. Thanks for the confidence, Marie!

I need to buy the kit cos its how you started it all, and he will get a front display in my livingroom as a reminder that dreams can come true

    TIP: when tying a knot, loop the thread 2x before pulling tight. It will anchor the thread without having to hold the tension on the thread.
