So you had a look at the program, and now youāre thinking āYes, one technique a month. But what do we really felt inside THE DODO HUB?ā
I get that it may not be totally clear to you, so let me help you with that.
First, above there's a short video of some of the beautiful pieces made by the partic...
When we start wet felting, there is so much to learn about the many techniques that fit under this wider umbrella, that this alone can be enough for felt makers to focus on, without ever taking a deep dive into the attributes of the fibers from different sheep breeds.
So, often itās people who have...
Iām working on a new class that is meant to help felt makers go all the way (smoothly) from total beginner to intermediate. If youāve recently started wet felting or youāve been felting for a while, but still feel like there are many gaps in your knowledge, this may be for you.
But Iāll need some t...
In 20 years of felt making I havenāt (yet!) had any issues with moths. It may just have been luck or because of the way I store my wool. Itās definitely not because I donāt have tons of wool in my studio š
Since I frequently get questions about how I store my wool, as well as how to prevent moth at...
A couple of weeks ago I got a sweet email from Jet van Grinsven, a felter from the Netherlands, thanking me for the inspiring blog and info, as well as asking me a question.
Jet is building a new home and wants to create a wall hanging, but isnāt sure if she should be using a stronger background as...
Coming to you from a locked down Lisbon. Canāt lie. Not feeling great. And Iām guessing you may not be feeling great either.
But itās time toā¦ I nearly said āreactā. Instead, itāsĀ time to act. Iāve startedĀ going for a jog in the morning again. And Iām slowlyĀ getting back to a routine, as normal as ...
Sharing tips, ideas, and experiences from felters who write me emails telling me about their felting projects has been on my mind for a long time.
It's so rewarding to hear from you, whether it's about something you created based on one of my tutorials or just to chat about felt. And I'm always thi...
Iām often asked who I recommend in terms of suppliers for felting materials.
My first recommendation would always be toĀ find a good one near you, a brick and mortar store, where you can see and touch the wool before you buy.
But, not all of us have good felting suppliers around the corner. In fact...
IāmĀ not the kind of person that buys all types of equipmentĀ when I start a hobby. Even though Iāve been felting for 15 years, thereās still so much I havenāt bought, and I probably never will. AndĀ much of the equipment I have invested in, have been purchases Iāve made in the last 3 or 4 years.
I kn...
Are you going crazy with the āwhat is whatā in terms of the wool for felting?
I do my best to avoid insider lingo, but the truth is thereās no escaping. Youāll just have to learn a couple of new terms when it comes to this. Otherwise you risk not getting the right materials for your projects. So he...
Itās been quite some time since my last post, and some of you have been asking when the next update will be. Itās true that this isnāt how things have been in the past in my blog, so here is the reason.
Without going too much into my private life, a lot of stuff has changed for me personally and
...Hello!
Iām often asked where I buy my felting supplies, because itās not always easy to find a good variety at local shops.
I also know that specific felting supplies is one of the topics I want to talk more about in the near future. So, Iāve created a new video series, called āFelting Infosā, des...
Get started today before this once in a lifetime opportunity expires.
