The Dodo Blog
I often get questions about felting in the comment section of my YouTube channel. Yesterday, one came up that I thought deserved a longer answer. Since it’s a frequently asked question, it made sense to me to write a blog post on the topic.
Here’s what Kathleen McKinney wanted to know: “How do you ...
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 isn’t sure if she should be using a stronger background as...
Hi!
Today I’m here with the Q&A Sessions, something I haven’t done for quite some time.
This is where I go through all sorts of questions you have about wet felting.
So, if you have something on your mind that you haven’t been able to solve yet, drop me a line and tell me all about it.

Hi!
Today I’m answering another one of your questions.
Now, I’ve done a couple of videos about resists, but I keep getting questions about them. Because this is such a big and important topic, I keep answering them.
Speaking of which, here’s the question for today:
“What are resists and how do y...
Hi!
As you might know, I’ve been asking you to send me the biggest questions you have on wet felting. I’ve received a bunch of them and I’ll be working on the different topics in the next weeks.
Some of them are great for the free videos and I got suggestions for new courses as well. So, thank you...
Welcome to the first episode of my new Q&A series.
If you still have trouble finding the right way to make a resist for a 3D wet felted object, this episode is for you.
Today’s question is from Kathryn, from Walla Walla, in Washington state.

Am I happy to be back!!!
What started out as a couple of technology problems, ended up as a great example of Murphy’s Law. After having taken my tablet – where I store eBooks, notes, my calendar, and all sorts of information – to repair, my Internet stopped working, I had huge difficulties in getti...
