I feel it, Rachel makes a lot of us throw caution to the wind and try new things. She just has a way about her. LOL Your little guy is adorable! ❤ I love ALL of your projects and can't wait for this dress 🦞🦞🦞🦞 😁

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

She DOES! 🤣 It's dangerous! Thank you so much! I'm so happy you're excited! 😄

[@kellytroy7602]

The making of adorable little guys through violence will never stop being so fun to watch! The little guy being a hat is a bonus too, he can sit on a shelf to be adorable AND sit on your head adorably! We all should be so lucky to have adorable little hat guys honestly

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Yesss!! Time to start the trend! Hah! 😆 Thanks for watching!

[@cbw900]

What if you are a wacko but the good kind? 🤔I am glad that despite everything you are hanging in and that the temps are a bit more bearable! I'm excited to see the gown reveal!

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

🤣 Fair point! The "good" kind of wacko! Thank you! Super excited to share it with you once she's finished!

[@TheMagnoliaWitch]

Yay, new happy little guy! He looks delici-- I mean, *delightful*! 😁

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

BWEEEHEHEHEHEE! 🤣 Not gonna lie, I'm fully planning a lobster dinner for when I finish this project!

[@lesleyharris525]

Thanks for showing how you fix your hat on, I have to wear a hat in the sun but it's a pain getting them to stay put, i have hat pins but can't really get my right arm over my head. Now I'm getting them clips, 😊. Little guys very cute, I'm sure our lady maksy would agree. Can't wait to see the finished ensemble. ❤

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Yeah! The clips are great! The only catch is they might mess your hairdo up when you remove them. Thanks for watching!

[@kaytiej8311]

This adorable. Who knew lobsters could be so cute; Sebastian being the exception! Thermidor has a whole exciting life ahead of him.

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Thank you! And HAH! Thermidor's a great name 🤣

That’s so much fun! Love it I needle felted a farm scene of little sheep on the bottom of my pant leg. It was to commemorate the fact that while I was helping on the farm a lamb peed on me lol. The friend I was visiting does amazing wet felt hats, scarfs and shawls. The shawls are made with a silk base and are so very stunning. As with all farms and other small businesses you visit you work lol.

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Thank you! And hah! That's awesome 😄

[@blacktulip1064]

What a cute and clever hat! Love the gnarly little lobster! I like to make cloth dolls and you can make great hair for them by using needle felting techniques but I decided that I'm just not going to get into this. Its a so much easier to use wool roving, make a hairstyle and then glue it on. Looks as good and is so much faster. 🧡💙

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Thank you!! And yeah, I bet that's faster 🤣 needle felting does take time!

[@ushere5791]

omg, he's soooooo adorable...is it possible he's TOO adorable?????

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

LOL! Maybe. Killed by cuteness? 🤣

[@ushere5791]

@@FantasticalFolliesCostuming yesssssss!

[@rosaalbert9755]

You are fantastic!! I'm glad I found you. I love Rachel Maksy. You remind me of her in this one. Oh, I crochet and resin work. Lol. I just love watching choas and creativity. It is just pure joy.

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Thank you! I'm so glad to have you here! We definitely...have similar senses of humor and levels of chaos 🤣 That's great! Crochet is fun, but resin's not a skill I've yet tackled 😲

[@LaurasBookBlog]

I have not tried needle felting because I simply do not have any more room for craft supplies in my apartment lol. Every surface is covered with knitting needles, crochet hooks, fabric, thread, block print stamps, and yarn. it's chaos.

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Oooooh I get that!!! If I hadn't already had the hardware, I think I would have opted for something other technique for that very reason 😆

[@yvonneburns2786]

Jerald is a classic name for the lobster😊

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Hee hee! One vote for Jerald! 🤣 Thanks for watching!

[@cassmacdonald-perfectlyimp2486]

This is adorable. Also, you’re not THAT evil 🤣

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Thank you! And...hehehehe 😈

[@sarahmwalsh]

YOU DID IT!! It's so stinkin' cute!!!

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Thank you!!! 🥹 He's so squishy!

[@stormraynes1707]

Skipping finger armor is a personal choice for each adventurer, but side to get more needles seems to be a requirement.

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Yep 🤣 I feel like snapping needles is like, a felter's rite of passage or something...or should be a square on Felting Bingo

[@Lady9tails]

This is so awesome. I don't have room for any more hobbies but I definitely want to try this. 💜💜💜

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

You should! I like that it only requires a few pieces of equipment to get started, and they're small and economical to boot 😁

[@hasumeokaasan6533]

I adore your spooky mantlepiece!! Its amaazing. Wanted go state that you and Rachel posted wee guys the same week! Mind reading synchronicity. You did an awesome job!!!

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Thank you! 🕸️ And what are the odds, hah! 🤣 Like minds!!

[@dianacurtis5872]

Needle felting was something I picked up a few years ago, and loved it. There is a channel I learned from, Seraphina Fibers? I think. Its sculptural and tactile and fun, but now I want to play with spun cotton, no needles and less expensive than wool... Im so glad you tried it and hope the opportunity to create more little guys inspires you to do more. Enjoy!

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Cool! I've never heard of spun cotton until today. But I'll have to look into it 🤣 Thanks for watching!

[@kindalegendary-mh4wk]

lol it turned out so cute!!!

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Thank you!!

[@jennglow4647]

Cool 😀

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Thank you!

[@carolehart1714]

I'm trying needle felting. It's painful even wearing finger guards.

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Aw!! That's no fun!

[@RachelShadoan]

I definitely need to make one of these

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

You should! They're so squishy!

[@PatchworkNovelties]

I vote Gerald He also reminds me of that hermit crab Dark Souls game

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Another vote for Gerald! And hah! I didn't think of that 😆

[@sabrinal.nelson6714]

I'm so glad you got the kit with the handle and different needle sizes. I was 100% cringing watching you stabby stabby stabby without handles. OK maybe its my arthritis talking. But hey! You got handle so yay! Lobstah Lil Guy is sooo fricken cute!

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

LOL! I mean...it wasn't like, the most comfortable thing, but it wasn't killing me 😆 the handle's definitely better, though! Thanks!!

[@rondaks3757]

For the name, how about something a bit more formal and in keeping with the Victorian era. Earl of Redclaw? Lord Pinchingyou? Or just Sir Buttersoon? LOL I am easily amused 😂🤣😂

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

LOL I love all of these! Keep 'em coming 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's verry red. Someone migth need to see the doctor

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

[@RavenAttwoode]

Madam. Please stop cutting the roving. 😅 You can just pull it apart from the where you want. Not criticizing, just having some fun! 😁

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

I mean, it seems like that would take more effort and make more mess than cutting 🤷‍♀️
