@@juliesfeltedfriends it is very addictive I can't stop lol. Thankyou for your videos x
Hi Julie ! thanks for another great instructional video. Can you reference where you get your 42g needle from? All the best to you!
Hi Hugo, many thanks for this 😊 I got them from Heidifeathers, I believe Heidifeathers is taking a break at the moment so the link in my description to them on Amazon might say they're not available at the moment, however I'd recommend trying again next week from 3rd September 2022 on Amazon or you could order direct from their website which is www.heidifeathers.com hope this all makes sense and helps, as you can probably tell, I really like the 42g triangular needle, hope you manage to get some, all the best to you too 😊
This is so helpful thank you.
My faces look like I’ve drawn them on with a sharpie. 🙈
Aw glad you found it helpful, I'm sure you'll improve, just takes a bit of practice, hopefully these tips will help 🙂
Any tips on how to make detailed legs??? I seem to struggle with animal's legs
Hi there, they can be tricky, you could try watching this video, czcams.com/video/8sWwsz-tSC4/video.html I talk about getting arms and legs looking the same as each other, hopefully this might help, thanks for watching
Is there anyway you can make a video on face features like jowls? Or do you have one out that I just haven’t found yet? I bought this lion kit that only came with pictures and we code video where you couldn’t see how they were doing finer details and no matter what I do it just looks wrong.
Hi there, sorry it's quite difficult to advise without seeing what you're trying to achieve, perhaps you could send me a picture on Instagram (julies_felted_friends)? Or to my email address at juliesfeltedfriends@gmail.com But if it's shaping jowls that you're struggling with perhaps you could add a small amount of wool to create the jowls, a bit like in the way I added more wool to the sides of the dog I needle felted, you could watch this video on shaping where I explain this: czcams.com/video/WPQnkA03tg8/video.html It might help to watch the whole thing but if you go 6:28 I show you how I add a bit of wool to the head to make it wider, you could do this 😊 hope this makes sense and helps. Thanks for watching
You are just an angel! I'm getting my first needle felting kit tomorrow, and decided to watch some videos to prepare. I'm so happy I found your channel, and it's been making me so happy watching your videos! I love that you respond to people, you seem genuinely passionate about the hobby and we're all lucky you're sharing your knowledge :) Thank you @@juliesfeltedfriends
