It has occurred to me after Ive felted the head and body that I probably should have used an armature wire base as the neck is especially fiddly. what would be a good way to attach the head and body, if it can be salvaged. If not, well its all a learning curve :)
Im very new. Thankyou.
I got my kit and just went for it to get a feel for the art form. Spoiler warning; I love it. I tried to slow down and take my time, and had a go at felting the stem and leaf with a little vein in it. I also used a core wool just to get a feel for that aswell. The lil possum guy is just modelling 😅 Im quite proud of my first attempt
Hello! excited to try this art form. Have spent the past few days reading a little and watching some videos, and it was enough to inspire me to give it a try. I went to my local chain craft shop (Spotlight for the aussies) and they had nothing. Nada. Zip. I visited another independent shop and also nothing.
I was surprised. I assumed this was a common craft.
Where do you suggest I buy supplies from online? Ideally Id like to get everything I need from one store. Im just looking for the bare basics at the moment. Wool, needles, Mat, finger protectors (im clumbsy).
If you're in Perth and know of any in person shops Id love to hear about those too. My preference will always be to buy in person if its an option.
Id prefer to avoid amazon if I can. Alternatively if you just have brands youd reccomend Id like to hear those too.
Thankyou for reading.
p.s. I did a group search and couldnt find anything recent matching my query
