The joys of felting come from the process itself.
I get great enjoyment from felting and all that I achieve. When I get my hands on the wool, my mind takes off. Its possibilities are limitless.
However, the most important are:
- The quality of the felt fabric depends on the sheep's wool and the felting technique used.
- Well-felted wool is a durable material.
- The use of wool is limitless and it can create any kind of magic.
- Think about the process when you get the wool in your hand. How it feels and what all you can accomplish.
- It's the process itself when you start creating something unique and unprecedented.
- You don't let any of the frames hold you back, you let your imagination run wild and let the work take you away.
- This is a holistic process, from design to outcome - and plans can even change during the process.
What can you do with wool?
- mittens
- hats
- clothes
- shoes
- accessories
- wool can be used to draw paintings
The possibilities are really wide. Only desire and enthusiasm are enough and mean here. As well as doing with the heart and being done properly from start to finish. Enjoy every single moment, and then your work becomes unique. It is also intended to strengthen your own skills through regular practice.
5 most common mistakes in needle felting
1. Don't take work in your hands.
Let it be felted with a pillow, for example, to make it safer for you and the needle, and to be more comfortable for you thanks to higher stability.
⠀
2. No need to penetrate Felting needle deep into the wool.
Note that the notches in the needle are at the tip only. Short and fast injections will speed up your work considerably.
⠀
3. Using the wrong needle.
Felting needles come in a variety of sizes and shapes. They are star-shaped, twisted, triangular, etc. Convenient and high-quality needles and needle holders are available from the @ellunhuopa online store.
⠀
4. Wrong wool.
There are hundreds of different breeds of sheep and wool trails, each one that stands out. They have their own unique features. I urge the road to choose finer wool for the patterning. You will get beautiful pictures from them.
⠀
5. Cutting the needle.
We would all cut them off, but some do it more often than others. How to prevent it? The elbow should be at a 90 degree angle. Do not strain your neck and palms. If the chair is too low, you can push the chair with a pillow.
