I thank you for taking the time to teach needle felters important tips . Without these tips it is easy to give up. Over and over again felting the same way doesn’t help. You nailed it !

[restlessparadox]

i started needlefelting yesterday, and made a little purple creature, roughly bean shaped, not much detail, but i was still happy with him! after simply watching you work (and of course listening to your tips, but i mostly do well from watching how other people do it!) has helped me so much already :] im working on a little needlefelt sculpture of my dog now! and so far she is so cute! thank you so much for sharing these videos theyre so sweet and awesome and cool

[tracybowling]

Another excellent video. I can't wait to try out what I've learned!

[StarwaveFelting]

Hmm.. That's an interesting tip. I'll give it a go as I can easily overthink and and spend longer on a piece than I plan to. Thanks

[AbqIlona]

I immediately thought of Betty Edwards' book when I saw you putting the cat upside down. I never thought of using that technique for needle felting. Brilliant!

[chickenruncreations-needlefelt]

This is awesome. I used that book with my kids when homeschooled. It's a great book. I should pull it back out and go through it again.

Using a mirror to look at your thing is also helpful.. Great video as usual.

[classtime]

Don't know why it didn't occur to me to use drawing techniques for sculpting. Great trip. Lovely instruction, as always. Thank you

[workoutsidethecube]

This is amazing, and can't wait to try this method - THANK YOU!

[alaskaheidi]

I am SO spatially challenged so I’m definitely going to try this! Love your videos 😊

[GalacticGoddess]

What a brilliant idea. I will be doing this :)

[luciswearingen]

Love this. I will be trying this. Thank you!

[sionnach]

This is a great way to practice, thank you for sharing!
It's great observation practice too...one thing I realised through needle felting--
it seems to regrow my braincells (i.e.making me more alert/focused in a manner of speaking).
🙃🧠✨
Plus I've gotten better at not "felting" myself and not having have to put too many plasters on my fingers!😂

[flapjack]

This is all incredibly good advice. I've heard similar things about drawing (copy a picture, but turn it upside-down first). But this left-brain/right-brain thing has been thoroughly debunked for so long, and it drives me nuts when people take that as fact. It's a metaphor at best. But on a more positive note, thank you so much for making these great videos!

[natalieramsey]

I like to put catnip in all of my felts so that I can just remind myself that if I’m not satisfied with how it comes out, then I can just give it to my cat! 🤭
