Thank you for this series of videos. You have given us all a solid base for creating dolls and creatures of all types. The paverpol on the fingers is something I will do on all my felts from now own.

[@LivingFelt]

Heather Douglas I am so happy to hear it! Oh yes on the finger treatment...glad it is helpful 😋🖖

This entire series has been amazing, I have gained an insane amount of skill!!! In the end I made 3 dolls and am still working on making them "shine"! I'm super excited for the scarfs coming up and every other felt along! I think these felt alongs are going to take mine and many others felting to the next level- nothing better than asking an expert and having it answered/shown right then and there! Thanks for the fun!!

My gosh! Mrs. Santa Claus looks so beautiful and what a great pair they make! I want to give it a try soon too! I think the face is the most challenging, but i can't wait what she's gonna look like in the end. Thank you so much, you're so talented and love your great work! Greetings from The Netherlands :D

[@LivingFelt]

You are very kind, Doreen. Thank you so much. We wish you lots of fun!

[@jellybean8040]

Luv your channel. Iam learning so much ,.You are an excellent teacher. I had a problem hearing you speak while you were standing at the beginning of your video but once you sat down I could hear much better. Looking forward to the next tutorial.

[@LivingFelt]

Thank you so much, Julia! :)

[@paulalotte1146]

Marie, thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to felt a doll. I have not felted along, in time with your videos. I'd rather watch it all before jumping in lol. But I now have the body ready and starting on the head. I can't wait to see what he or she tells me they want to become :) I was in such a felting funk but your felt along has got my felting juices flowing again! Woohoooo! Thank you, again! xoxo

[@LivingFelt]

Paula Lotte I am so glad to hear ...you have picked up your felting again and already started your doll! Thank you for your comment and I will watch for your pics 😊

[@kathousefarm-steveterrythr4912]

This has been such an amazing adventure watching some wire and wool turn into such beautiful creations!! I've been watching along, but not felting along. For some reason I feel so intimidated to make a doll with an armature. I've wanted to learn how to do it, and now here it is right in front me. I am going to start one as soon as I get caught up on the projects I've started already. I can't thank you enough for this priceless gift you have give to us. I've learned so much by just watching. I know I'm going to learn so much more once I get started on making one for myself!! You have been such an inspiration to me (and many others), I'm so thankful that I found your site. And I'm so thankful for you and your wonderful fairies!! I can't wait to see what I'm going to learn next from you!! Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher and being willing to share your talent with us all!!! LOVE and HUGS!!!!

[@LivingFelt]

Kat House Farm and Kreations It warms my heart ♡ that you feel what was intimidating is now approachable. I really look forward to seeing what you make. Thank you for your feedback 🤗

[@juliejelaco5208]

Hello, I love all your videos and they are so helpful. I make small dolls 5 to 6 inches tall. I am wanting to start wet felting for their clothing ,but these clothes would be very small in your opinion do you think wet felting could work for me? I have never wet felted but I have dabbled in needle felting

[@LivingFelt]

Hi Julie, thank you for your kind note :) One thing is for certain...with wet felting clothing, you can create things incredibly unique, original and one of kind ... far beyond woven fabrics. With that said, you will have the most ease if they do not need to be removable. That is because you can make pieces that wrap and get attached to the doll but look removable. Also, you can layer for cool effects. You might start with a simple tunic (made flat) or a skirt.

[@juliejelaco5208]

@@LivingFelt Thank you

[@juliejelaco5208]

Instead of rolling can you use a tool that you just rub over the wool or mist you roll? Also after wet felting is the wool still fuzzy?

[@juliejelaco5208]

I am asking a lot of questions but wondering why you use bamboo instead of pool noodle or a wood dowels

[@moonbee03]

Marie, your tutorials are amazing! Thank you so much! I have a question. I need to make a long robe, with long sleeves for a doll that is approximately 10 inches tall. I truly don't want to go into wet felting. Is there any way I can make the cut out model for clothing by dry needle felting it? I know it would take quite a bit... but I don't mind that. Is there any other reason other than time for which I should not dry felt it? I appreciate any guidance you can give in this regard.

[@LivingFelt]

Thank you for your note :) I have felted a hooded cloak for a Santa, and the joins are tricky = better to sort of "fake" the clothing as removable as we show in the needle felting doll clothes video. You can also use prefelt to help make it a bit easier, and youc can needle felt onto the prefelt if desired.

[@moonbee03]

@@LivingFelt Thank you so much for your prompt answer! I just ordered some prefelt from you, and think I'll go down that road. So nervous with my first doll (only made a small bunny before) but I have such high hopes for it, my imagination is running wild! Thanks again!

[@LivingFelt]

@@moonbee03 Thank you so much for ordering with us :) We wish you loads of fun with your first doll!

Where can I buy resist? I searched on your website but I see that you only sell a bubble wrap form.

[@LivingFelt]

Hi Kristen! Thanks for watching and for the question. RESIST comes in two thicknesses...for the doll clothes, go with the THIN: They are under WET FELTING TOOLS, and here is a direct link: feltingsupplies.livingfelt.com/Wet-Felting-Resist-THIN-Material_p_1700.html

[@juliejelaco5208]

So how can you make clothes less thick? Without wholes for a more delicate look, and I make miniature dolls so the clothes will be very small like 4 inches or less.

[@juliejelaco5208]

also how many roles do you do for a typical project?

[@LivingFelt]

Hi Julie...do you mean "rolls"? There is not a typical number, it is all about the strength of the felt. If you wish to make very thin pieces, use a silk gauze or magilan silk as a base layer, then you can put a small amount of fiber on top, and felting will be quick. You should felt until it will hold up to whatever handling your doll will get. You should not be able to pick the fibers apart once dry.

How can I slow down the shoe instructions? Seems to zip right by!

[@LivingFelt]

Con MC, see the little GEAR ICON at the bottom right of the video screen...you can choose a slower play speed there :)

Where can buy mesh from?

Doesn’t it get moldy Later on with those dry soap and water?

[@jellybean8040]

Wish I could hear u better.

[@LivingFelt]

Julia, I am sorry if it seems low..it was definitely low on part 5 in the beginning, but this one seemed ok at the time. We will revisit on the next video.
