New project!

My first project! How do you all make your work so crisp? I feel like it looks a bit muddled.

Pricing advice

I haven’t done custom work in so long I can’t decide what to charge. It’s 10x13in probably took me 10 hours. I’m including the frame. I’m leaning towards $250… does that seem appropriate?

Cute felted animations in Netflix documentary

Film is called Hack Your Health: Secrets of Your Gut. Content is only mildly interesting but the felted animations are delightful.

Seeking Plant-Based Felt for Hat-Making: 1/4 Inch Thick Recommendations?

Hello Felting Community!

I love felt, but I don't love the wool industry. I am wondering if anyone has experience with bamboo/rayon/viscose felt and would be willing to share their source?

I am looking to create gnome style hats with felt if that helps? 🍄🧙‍♂️

Thank you so much in advance!

Question for advanced felters - design

In my head I planned to make a cute and simple(!) scene with a snow leopard and a tiger, but before I realised, I started to make it realistic so a 3 hr project becomes 10+ hs of work. I know as far as problems go, this isn’t a bad one to have, but nevertheless it’s a problem. So my question is - how to design cute, simple characters? How do you stop the part of the brain that goes “that doesn’t look like xyz, you must keep working”? How…?

Ideas for attaching a message

I’m making some needle felted ornaments as presents and wanted to attach a message for the recipient (just a little to/from tag or similar). Does anyone have any ideas for how to do this neatly? So far all I have is a paper tag on the string.

Picture of a prototype for reference!

My 11 year old daughter made this

She says it started out as a wolf, but ended up as more of a honey badger

Second “project”

I made this little creature today for my cat. I stuffed it with catnip, and he seems to love it. I was going for a mouse but I’m getting more bunny now that it’s done. I’m only a week in to my needle felting adventure. This is an improvement from my first “project”. Here’s to continued improvement.
