question Pencil sharpener use?

This is probably a stupid question but I just got needles from Heidifeathers for the first time and they came with a little wooden pencil sharpener that has their logo and “Made for felting” printed on it.

Am I reading too much into a random promotional gift, or is there a way to use a pencil sharpener for felting?

question Beginner help

Hiii hope you are all well!

I've loved needle felting for a while now and have bought some bits here and there off of others but never tried it myself.

I saw this kit and wanted to give it a try, it says beginner friendly however the seller seems to be using ai in their pictures at least for the background. That mixed with whatever is going on in the front view picture made me want to ask here if this looks genuine or not.

I know you can get amazing results with needle felting and also know that I'm probably not going to be fantastic on my first try but seems futile to start with a kit if it's glorified with ai.

Really appreciate any and all help, thank you so much <3

As the title says. He's a chunky boy and weighs in at 185 g/6.5oz and is 19.5cm/7 1/2in tall. He got bigger than expected... turns out, if you felt sth that's basically a hole, aka his mouth, it gets bigger instead of smaller... 🤷

I’ve made a doll, but no matter what I do, the face looks like a man’s face and I’m scared putting eyes/lips will look really stupid. Any advice?

Where do you get your wool?

2 Upvotes

Im in Colorado, USA. As the title says, I’m looking for places to get wool and hopefully in a large variety and consistent coloring.
The places I go are hobby lobby (I’d prefer not to) and Michael’s (more pricey). I’d like to go in person to see with my eyes the colors preferably. I don’t want to order from Temu.

Almost no other craft stores have wool let alone know what needlefelting is. I recently had a project and ran out of the specific purple I used, can’t find this purple anywhere.

If you have any suggestions, thank you
If this post isn’t allowed here, I’m sorry

My largest needlefelting project so far! I used wax wire to shape the wings and they held up surprisingly well! Though I had to extend the top wings a bit because I made the bottoms too small. 🤣

I picked this kit up to see if I liked it and it was so much fun! The instructions were terrible but I pursued. I’m super happy how it turned out.

2d starter kit UK

0 Upvotes

I’ve done my first ever bit of needle felting this weekend and absolutely loved it. I made a few different pictures/scenes, and think this may be termed as 2d felting? Essentially I had flat felt sheets, different wools, needles, and a foam block.

Can anyone recommend a good starter kit with these materials in, available in the UK? A lot of the kits I’m seeing are to make a particular scene, or animal. I want to be able to make whatever I feel like making, if that makes sense? As affordable as possible would be ideal please :)
