Art therapy is good for us’ my favorite take away ... so many options and I still get to play with my little gatherings from the Artful Fabric tutorial. I also loved how you turned your Waldorf Dolls into fairies!

[@alinewatts8976]

Thanks for this. Love the butterflies. ❤

[@analuisamontiel6001]

Que belleza, he aprendido mucho , gracias .

[@ddelker]

So glad to learn just a bit more about felting!

[@kwurfel1]

Angelina is very sturdy and lasts well and keeps its brilliance as long as it is captured well. Did you know Angelina is the product used in hand tied fishing flies. Long story when I walked into a fishing store in Pocatello Idaho and talked to the guy tying flies

[@LivingFelt]

Very interesting!

[@grammyspride]

Hello, Rhonda Berman from Omaha...My takeaway was mixing the Angelina with the wool to help catch it in place. Just found your videos and have watched three already today. Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to discover more.

[@olenakulinych15]

Thank you so much!!!!!! Olena from Australia

[@josiesmith850]

I love you guys .... a piece of normal and friendly in this crazy time .... you bring a tear to my eyes 😘

[@raewatson1948]

Hi there, Rae from the UK here . Missed the live tutorial but have watched the lovely butterflies emerge on catch up. Love how you used the wings on the doll...I think my grand-daughters would love that idea on a doll. Thanks again Marie for another fantastic tutorial. Sending hugs to you and all the faeries..keep safe.

[@jodydavies1745]

What a great tutorial. It was special as it was the first one I participated in live!!!

[@raewatson1948]

Cluster houses....yeah loved doing those..😄

[@61bready]

[@dariahagenloch9086]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful butterfly tutorial. Can't wait to start making them now that we have so much time on our hands. You really help everyone during this odd time.

[@goldielocs4359]

It's so great when you explain what needle you are using and why! I learn so much from that! I love these!

[@courtneyermoian823]

Watching the playback as I missed the first hour! Thank you Marie for another wonderful tutorial 💕🧚‍♀️

[@hueyking7880]

Babyhuey from New Mexico, like your shop. Thanks for all your work.

[@cariad_se]

This looks like so much fun! have to try it!

[@faithmothergoddess7055]

Thankyou as always for a wonderful Wooly Wednesday!!! I loved the Butterflies and Im grateful to see how the iron on pen works on felt xxxx looking forward to next week cant wait to find out what we are doing!!!

[@bonnycronin6265]

thku for making felted projects l am new to this and am excited to get supplies and get started x

[@patriciabrenner9550]

love love love the flowers! I will be ordering the beginners wet felting kit and making those!! so cool

[@patriciabrenner9550]

and I just placed my order!! I'm so inspired!!

[@tracys6066]

I am really loving your tutorials especially your brilliant ideas for projects. Thank you so much for giving us so much of your time - and stay well xx

[@yazelj]

Another great project and tutorial with so many possibilities! Thank you!

[@tracyvance8401]

So much information and inspiration. Love the Angelique wings. They would be great as bumblebee wings. Thanks so much for this. It will give me a great project for the weekend.❤

[@joyceelms8597]

I love your videos, so informative, and fun. Alway watch later as am in UK. Wish I could get hold of your supplies here. Xxx

[@Artistandkeepsakes]

I'm new to this find the tutorials so helpful thank you

[@karenvaage6040]

I loved this pretty day easy tutorial. Some times we need something to just sooth the soul

[@doreethorpe4800]

I really enjoy that we get helpful information along with the project, really makes it nice. Difficult to just read a whole article sometimes, little bits of info along the way makes it easier (for me at least) to absorb. A few "aha" moments during this felt along. :)

[@esthersalari8080]

I really loved to see all the different options you gave us Marie in how to achieve a beautiful butterfly. The PDF is simple yet very satisfying with the possibility of many different designs, since i copied the wingsheet a couple of times I can try out as many designs as I like. Thank you for sharing all you knowledge with us.

[@AnnArbaugh-Author]

I finally get to watch one on the next day! Yay! These butterflies remind me of Cecropia moths. As soon as I get some wool felt I'll make one. Or two. Or more.

[@shantellcarrizales7340]

Aha moment. I had done this before.....BUT....making the wings in 4 sections was an aha moment because I was able to tuck the bottom wing sections under and it makes all the difference. Thanks LF and Marie for all the little tips you give us that makes our projects better.

[@kathyconnolly271]

butterflies are so fun. I am trying to make small ones to add to some 2D pictures. I did several cluster houses for Christmas cards

[@karenlewis1546]

Happy to see everyone together for today. Love the butterflies, they are such happy little bugs. I was supposed to be in Texas this week with plans to see you all before this crazy Covid thing. So disappointed I didn't get to meet you this week!!!

[@janeseen7708]

I loved this WW! My butterfly belongs in the Wonky category but it was such fun!

[@leonnenieuwenhuis5756]

Loved this! These butterflies are beautiful and I can't wait to try my first needle felting project! Loved to see these outer lines being felted

[@bonniejohnson6425]

Missed the Wednesday live, but watched it on Friday. So so cute, and fun!! Thanks Marie 💖

[@P-Doodle]

Missed you live, but I’m catching up. Thanks a million.

[@isabelladavis1363]

So wonderful you are still filling our need to create and although I live in the very sunny Savannah Ga area it’s great to be able to forget the heat and pretend I’m in Winter here lol,thanks so much for giving to us all

[@lindymorgan7035]

Sorry I missed the Live Version. I always look forward to Wednesdays. The butterflies look amazing..

[@glennloomes372]

AKA Chantal Wolf Thanks for another great Wooly Wednesday! I'm very excited because I actually have all the supplies to complete this project right now. I really liked the wings on the Waldorf dolls and I learned how to use the angelina in a new way. I'm going to try heating them up for use as bee's wings too. I look forward to this every week!

[@lizawearn7579]

What a wonderful tutorial! I always learn something and am inspired to create. I like the idea to use the felt art sheets made during the previous tutorial for butterfly wings.

[@tammypopp314]

Another great tutorial! I have wanting to do a a 3d butterfly but I really didn't know how to go about it and now I know exactly how to go about it! My take away would be outlining the edges, nice and neat and hopefully I can accomplish it. Of course I most likely will watch this video again, just to make sure I get a great tips that you provide. Also, thank you Marie and all the fairies for your hard work and keeping WW live and running, with everything going on and the stay at home thing, it gives me something to look forward to and a great group of people to talk to! Stay safe all!

[@patsyfrasier6966]

These butterflies were great fun!

[@patriciabrenner9550]

love Einstein behind you!

[@LivingFelt]

He was made as a gift for us by Sari Butler. Look her uo in our group. She makes cool 2d pictures ♡

[@judycobillas550]

It was great to see the whole crew yesterday! I watched yesterday and started my wings. I couldn't understand why I had so much fiber on the back of my wings and you didn't. So, I watched again today and I think my problem is that I am using too much fiber. You said the wool should just sit on the top.(My take away)! So when I do my next set of wings I will pay more attention to this. You asked about future tutorials. In the "Pancake" wet felting tutorial you showed examples of prefelt using resist and silk gauze. I would love to learn this technique. Thank you for making Wednesday afternoons so much fun, especially now when we really need it. Be safe everyone!!! judy

[@patriciabrenner9550]

I would love to see birds on a future wooly wed!! please please please

[@casscass1778]

Beautiful! I love all those items that were made. I hope to join in on a live, from Australia soon.

[@paulalotte1146]

I hate when I miss the live show but I'm so grateful to see it in replay. You are so good to us sharing your wonderful tutorials!. I was always leery to make a butterfly but I absolutely adore these and you made them simple yet they turn out so beautiful. Thank you! I think what I'd like to see in a tutorial is WAFFA or fantasy chickens & roosters! lol

[@normamedina9235]

I'm watching the video this morning because I had a meeting at the same time of the live streaming...I love this idea of making a butterfly...(easy enough for beginners like me). I have Lupus and the butterfly is the symbol. I'm making mine in purple which is the colour for Lupus. I can't wait to finish it so I can share it with you all. Thanks for your tutorials, they do bring light in the middle of these dark days...Please keep doing them.

[@joyce2832]

Thank you! I needed a new project idea.

[@kelleygrant-kelley7461]

I'm making a treasure pouch for my friends little girl, and I'm making it crazy fabric like we did a couple weeks ago. Now I have a butterfly to embellish the pouch with! Thanks so much.

[@kelliekirkpatrick3245]

I have fallen in love with the "IRON-ON Transfer Pen" Amazing ! Thank you again Marie! LOVE THE BUTTERFLY tutorial!!!!

[@jennytreloar9460]

That was a fabulous Wooly Wednesday!! My take away was definitely the adding wings to the Waldorf dolls. Mu mind is racing and I need to make some! I need to get more colors in my MC1 collection. My other take away was using the wool sheet to start and not use core to make a wing. I am making a mermaid Waldorf doll and was having such a hard time with the fin. Now I know how to go about making a nice one!! Just like the no-problama!! Make 2 fins and glue them together and add a decorative edge! Thank you so much for your wonderful ideas and inspiration!❤❤❤

[@nancyvetreno6612]

Another great Wooly Wednesday with projects to keep us sane during the quarantine. ! Query? How high I make skinny antennas for my flutterbys?

[@cindysmith1038]

I missed the live version but I am so glad to have caught up on this video. Thank you for sharing. I'd like to add that if a person needs to use the subtitle due to hearing loss, when you show details/felt at the bottom of the screen, it is hidden by the subtitle bar. If it is possible to show the felting details closer to the middle or upper portion of the screen .. thx for considering

[@angelakuchar2443]

Hello my wonderful new friends! I received my mixed media supplies the other day!! So excited. Started my Mixed Media Art yesterday. Had to rewet it this morning, I don't believe I felted it enough. It is now drying so I can cut it up...can't wait. One quick question, I am having trouble rolling because my towel and bubble wrap keep moving and sliding. I'm working on my island in my kitchen which has a granite counter top. Any suggestions? Thank you ladies, waiting for the new show today :)

[@LivingFelt]

Hi Angela! So fun! :) Oh yes, we meant to make a suggestion yesterday...and Marie may have mentioned it in this video. She likes to put a cut of rubber shelf liner under her towel...it really helps! Wishing you loads of fun! :)

[@user-fc3sx2cw5x]

I didn’t catch you live this week but I am watching the replay and making the butterfly now (nearly finished). I must admit, I took away 2 #Takeaways from the video which have improved my work immensely! 1) You introduced me the right method of making thin border outlines using wool batts like those on the wings; now I know that I needed to pull my wool as I go and stab it. It is tricky because my wool ends up breaking/tearing off as I pull sometimes but I am getting the hang of it with this practice 👍🤗 Question though; how can I make thin border outlines using my longer staple (roving) wool? I have merino for example that I struggle to felt in a straight thin line 🤔 it works for me but I don’t have a regular technique that I can guarantee to work yet, sadly. And for takeaway 2) I loved the point about 42 needle! For my first few projects that I made recently, I had my work bond so badly to my foam pad which is a nightmare but now that I did my whole project using the old 42 needle I own (which I never ever considered using before, but it worked in my favour because this is the only needle I own at the moment anyway, in fact, I dug deep in my stuff and hard to find it 😂), it made such a great difference! I can’t recommend it enough! I can’t believe how smooth the backside of my work is! 😍😍 I am also lifting my butterfly every now and then so I make sure it doesn’t bond the slightest bit! Long comment, sorry 😅 but THANK YOU for those 2 tips! Stay safe fairies and Marie!

[@terriburdett5347]

Sorry I missed it live, I can't wait to make the butterfly wings for my next Waldorf doll! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

[@tammysoutherland1405]

Just downloaded supplies list. Oh boy didn't sleep but couple hours and up early. Sheesh 😱

[@noelleshawa5376]

These are so beautiful! I wish I could watch this live, I teach a painting class at that time (Watercolor Wednesday 😊). Must get some Angelina!🤩

[@dilyssewell1907]

I love your tutorials. I’ve never been very adventurous with my felting, but you give me the confidence to push myself out of my comfort zone. Please, please find a way of selling your materials in the UK! Maybe UK fans can get together.......?

[@tracys6066]

hear hear - I would like to get their materials in Uk too

[@kwurfel1]

Have you done a short training video about the different size and shape needles and their purposes. I never understood triangle vs star etc.

[@LivingFelt]

Yes :) We have one right here: feltingsupplies.livingfelt.com/Felting-Needles_c_14.html

[@A727200]

I look forward to trying this project. I appreciate how you break down what seems complicated into simpler doable steps. For future video, I would be interested in how you would use your LF products to make a large item such as a rug or large wall hanging. What could be used to give it more strength? Do you do anything differently to keep the shape of a circle, square/rectangle, etc with a large piece? Would you approach the felting process differently or is it the same just a larger piece? Also, a general question-how to retain maximum color when wet felting?

[@patriciabrenner9550]

hi from East TN!!

[@SweetPeaFarmNY]

We had so much fun making these this afternoon I can’t wait to get some new MC1 to do more!

[@gladysgarrison6383]

My take away was how to make a thin line with MC1. I’m struggling with this and now I understand what I was doing wrong. I was doing yard work during the broadcast so I watched tonight. It was the first day of 70 degrees in 196 days and we are forecasted to get rain the next 3 days so I had to get the leaves off the flower beds. Thank you for providing some sanity for these quarantine days.

[@Katwashere71]

Sorry but what is MC1? yes to the UK banding together. I would have a shop here in Wales if I could.

[@gladysgarrison6383]

SpiritStones Coaching and Teaching. MC1 is a specific kind of wool sold only by Living Felt.

[@blsswimmer3]

Sorry I missed today, my internet was out. Just finished watching, it was really interesting.

[@gsalamonsalamon8841]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I live the orange butterfly will I win that ? So adorable I’m so obsessed with wet felts

[@Miauwies]

I just recently found you girls on KZbin. I'm new to felting and I loveeee it en I love your video's! Thank you❤️ I hope to be at a live soon. Can you be a winner from out of the USA?

[@jansmith1157]

Missed the live but have just watched it. I'm impressed with iron on fabric pen. It didn't look like it bleed. Do you carry other colors & do do they mark well on all fabric without bleeding? I enjoy all of the projects & learn a lot from each video. I recently ordered & got it very quick, and for that I thank you all so much. To all of you take care & be safe.

[@judynichols3512]

wow i can't wait to do this butterfly (:

[@vls0511mjs]

Oh I love that!

[@UrydiceO]

I have troubles with Angelina adhering to my felted pieces. Blending it in with the wool sounds like it might do the trick, plus the little hair cut afterwards!

[@deeherrmann2120]

Hi. My first time here. I’m in Nebraska

[@kathyconnolly271]

Couldn't you wet felt the body like a long bead if it is hard to dry felt it?

[@LivingFelt]

sure!

[@kimriley5105]

Heck yeah 👍🏻❤️😀

[@judynichols3512]

Question how do you clean your needle felt pad?

[@loriinaustin3891]

Is there a video for the monarch kit?

[@lisaorourke903]

Have you tried selling on Folksy? X

[@tammysoutherland1405]

What type of paper was that and can it be bought in bulk?

[@tammysoutherland1405]

I know it's transfer paper but a possible substitute.
