[@LivingFelt]

What is your fave take-a-way?

[@daughnoneill3789]

Just do it - don't have to measure! LOVE it Thanks Marie!

[@kathyaldrich1314]

Let's put flowers everywhere!!, love this!♡

[@audreyfarthing4332]

Not tried wet felting yet. Always helpful to learn what fibre will work as limited options in the UK. Ta

[@Keshexpress1]

They really look like poppies, love the colors too..... I need more wool 😀😃

[@susancunningham8220]

love the wrinkled edges and shaped petals

[@59beadsbishop]

Ruffling petals was the best thing I learned 😊

[@kathyaldrich1314]

Hi, Kathy Andrew's here from Ontario Canada. So sorry I missed this live, hope everyone is doing well. Making flowers tonight ☺, thank you Marie!♡

[@charlieneumanofs918]

As a former Floral Design Artist and relatively new to this art form, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@LivingFelt]

Thank you so much, that means a lot. 🤗

[@riverbenson8932]

Hi from Newport on the beautiful coast of Oregon. I missed the live show but will be felting tomorrow when my wool comes in. Much appreciation to yall!

[@barbfreeman7958]

[@courtneyermoian823]

Missed today due to yard work. Can’t wait to make some poppy flowers 💐

[@shanstersntx]

I was so mad i missed it today so watching it now !

[@sandraherrington939]

Loved the crinkles. Petals drying first one done with you as I made fabric this afternoon. Total relaxation and happy project. I love gardening and flowers so this was a super hour for me. Thank you Marie and the fabulous fairies. Many blessings.

[@lizawearn7579]

I love poppies, and I loved learning how to make ruffled edges! This technique can be used for so many things.

[@LivingFelt]

Indeed it can!

[@tammypopp314]

Great one, I didn't realize at first that this was like a flower I was trying to make until you showed the pistil and anther, yes I looked this up before posting! lol when I got to the part where I had to put it together, I got stuck, I was trying different ways and I just could not figure it out, so I put it all to the side, hoping one day I can come back to it at a later time. This time came when you did this video! I just pulled out the project and I am going to work on it today/tomorrow. My fave part of the video it is how you wet felted the pistil and attached it to the flower.

[@dorisdeavor2682]

Kathy, So much great information to take in! I LOVED this video. Poppies in the near future. Thank you, Doris

[@libellula3313]

Beautiful. I am a felter in France but rarely combine wet and dry. It works well!

[@patriciabrenner9550]

ooooh summer flowers!!!~

[@kelleygrant-kelley7461]

These fiber projects have been great for learning how different types of wool felt down. I’ve been using odds and end grab bag leftovers as well as some fine merino and some silk/merino blends. Having all those fibers in different sections on my flat piece shows me how much more quickly one will felt down , while another will never felt as firmly and how they will feel to the touch after. I know better what I’d choose for a vessel rather than a scarf. I’m learning quite a bit, quickly.

[@joycetrenholme687]

Let’s Felt! On the replay! 😀

[@angelaallen1018]

Hi I'm on the replay in Mandurah Western Australia 😊 our poppy day is called ANZAC Day and is on 25th April. This year we did a dawn vigil in our driveways with candles, poppies and rosemary for remembrance. We use red poppies so will make a red one to use annually for this event. Thank you for sharing so generously x❤️

[@paulacooper1496]

Love the poppies-going to be my first wet felting endeavor!

[@kelleygrant-kelley7461]

Had a migraine so couldn’t felt along today - so glad to have this play back, thank you😊! I’ve been giving away the simple felted flowers like on your apron all this spring to cheer people up. These will be perfect little gifts to cheer people up. Hope to start on my fabric tomorrow. The centers look exactly like the poppies I see and I’m so impressed with your innovation.

[@kelliekirkpatrick3245]

Loved how you crinkled the pedals !

[@grocederlof6459]

Great inspiration - especially crinkling the petals and how to assemble the poppy - thanks a lot 😀

[@susancunningham8220]

Greetings from Iowa. Can't make flowers today, but looking forward to this session and making some soon.

[@faithmothergoddess7055]

I learned so much from this week especially the bit about sewing the felt into a shape and the refelting it to stay in that shape! I cant wait to get started on it!!!

[@lesleyplage-rohrman5945]

I have no words to describe how grateful I am I stumbled upon this awesome youtube channel about two years ago it has truly taught me so many great things for felting and the kit I ordered is fantastic thank you so much for everything you do. Hope you and all your followers are staying safe and doing well much love from Ohio

[@dianaurban6838]

Five flowers completed, love them Marie!

[@pattymiller6696]

I’m new to felting... love the flowers!

[@susanmartin3779]

WOW!! I can't keep up with all these projects! Love them all!!

[@ArtDyes]

This is my favorite flower - flower method from all I have seen. So happy to have had to time to watch. :)

[@499faith]

Great tutorial. Learned how to make the stems and the strings you wet felted for the middle of the flower. Love watching your tutorials.

[@lindaroepken9100]

Getting everything set up to make my poppy fabric now! Can’t wait to make these beauties. 💐

[@kariedwards7234]

So sorry I missed the live show today. I was really looking forward to it. Covid has come to my family. I appreciate seeing it now. I'm so excited to learn wet felting. Thank you Marie and your angels for being here to keep me smiling and learning. ❤❤❤

[@Councilof8for43]

Awww Kari, I am so sad to hear that Covid has come to your family!!! I hope whomever it is will be on the mend soon and heal quickly.❤️

[@kecemmyfelt]

Hi from Turkey 🙌 i love this thecnique. İ use it as soon as possible 😃 thanks thanks thanks

[@barbaraszijarto4003]

Watching from Edmonton Alberta Canada. I made a butterfly last week. Can't wait to make some flowers

[@dollielewis5961]

First time and love it.

[@Nat-dx3vp]

These look awesome, I will need to learn needle felting first though, never done it.

[@Lauradicus]

I finally surfaced from the lovely silks and 16 micron merinos! Another fun one, thanks Marie. Can’t say about a fav takeaway because I kept laughing when you were felting to the “pistol”... you were stabbing the ovary 😂thanks for the laughs, enjoy and see you next week.

[@grammyspride]

My fave take- away was how you laid the bright color on top very thinly so the darker color shows through. I would love to see the wet/needle combo landscape in the future. Thanks again for sharing your talent/knowledge with us! Rhonda Berman

[@kathyelston8674]

I really loved today’s Wooly Wednesday! Flowers are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you!

[@aggiethomas9321]

Thanks for the beautiful flowers Marie ;-) Love the "crinkling" method you demonstrated - thank you for another great Wooly Wednesday!!

[@royvon3403]

These are wonderful!!

[@deirdrecrofts560]

Thank you somuch for giving me so much information

[@lauradevers4170]

I just love poppies but I didn’t have much luck growing them in my garden. I’m Looking forward to making these beautiful colorful poppies which I can enjoy all year long! 🌺

[@summervanmun2519]

Love the flowers you have on

[@helenethorn]

Love from Sweden!

[@caddibags]

These are so beautiful!

[@tracybahn117]

I just placed my order! So excited!!

[@susanpruitt8819]

I'm excited to try wet felting these beautiful poppies. I didn't have good success at my first attempt to wet felt a flower so hopefully I will be able to do this one. Love the colors you've chosen!

[@SKay-nw5se]

Great inspiration 💕

[@natalieyoung6]

I’m new from Australia 🇦🇺

[@lolapegasus]

I would love to give wet felting a go but don't have the room or the equipment just now but it's definitely something to put on my to do list for the future. I'm determined to watch you live one Wednesday, I just need to work out the time difference as I'm in the UK! I'm loving your videos as they're teaching me so much and being a member of your FB group has been nothing less than inspirational. I don't felt as much as I'd like to due to having painful hands and my projects can end up a little weird looking but I'm getting there. It's especially helpful during these unprecedented times as I live alone and am missing my family so much so thank you for being their! Carol, Birmingham, UK

[@Councilof8for43]

My takeaway from this would have to be using thread to sew the tips of each petal giving it a "crinkled" effect! I would have NEVER guessed that was how it's done. Thanks Marie and Fairies...love to you all! ❤️💕 P.S. Good luck second chance entrants!!

[@SewArtStudio]

I watched this video the other day and forgot to comment. I have been binge watching all sorts of your videos, and have been learning a lot. Thanks so much for all the time you put in to bring quality videos to us!

[@blancalabrana721]

Muy bellos todos sus trabajos , me gustaría en español

[@suzannestrangward974]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Love those crinkled petals :) Stay safe, from Suzanne in New Zealand :)

[@tracybahn117]

So excited to be learning wet felting! I was intimidated but you make it look fun and easy to learn. That’s my fav take away. All the wet felting tips!

[@jjpacker887]

Was so interesting on how to ruffle the edges on the poppies, Enjoyed the tutorial so much. Linda Packer from Wisconsin. Thank you Maries and all the fairies for all you do. Stay safe.

[@dianemccannmathews8332]

Spectacular - you are amazing.

[@enchanted1964]

Hi Marie and the faeries! Coming from NC here. Loving the crinkle flower methods...what a great technique!! Thank you for these wonderful videos!

[@teresadudik5571]

My favorite take-always from this tutorial... the fabulous colors you created mixing the colors, and the many little tricks Marie showed us! Need to order some bling fibers so I can make some!! Thank you for making life better during this crazy Corona time!

[@farmfiberandart4904]

Love your videos and artwork. You’re such an inspiration to me!

[@pjblackmer2362]

Always watch first, tend to work a bit slower :) Can't wait to make my fabric for these poppy's tomorrow! Such great tips

[@angiredd17]

I’m finally inspired to try wet felting! I think these would be great to send for Mother’s Day! (That also happens to be my birthday so I think I’ll make a bouquet for me too!). I just placed my order for the starter set. Thanks for making it seem less intimidating. And thanks for the videos.

[@pennypink3759]

I will be making some for a lovely lady called Poppy.

[@devonmccarroll6509]

This was so fun today! You always have so many great ideas to inspire our creativity!

[@lurenecornelius8053]

I’m new really enjoyed!!

[@karena8985]

Great tutorial! Learned lots of tips to try on other projects, will have my fabric ready for next Wooly Wednesday!

[@aprilholemo5439]

So fun! Thank you!

[@lurenecornelius8053]

Iris would be pretty!

[@maryannm.pauley5901]

How do you get the pdf ? Thank you.... love your videos...don’t usually watch the live shows, but i always tune it at some point. Thanks again....I’m just a beginner, but i am learning sooooo much from you. You’re a great teacher!!!!

[@svetlanamurasheva7120]

Thank You. Very nice !

[@gingerbiscuit4871]

I love these, I learned so much watching this TFS. Its bank holiday weekend in the UK so I am going to binge watch your videos all weekend. So inspiring. 🙏

[@LivingFelt]

🤗🌈thank you!!

[@lurenecornelius8053]

So pretty Marie!! Can’t wait to make some! Lurene in Oklahoma!

[@noelleshawa5376]

I wish I could watch this live! I have so many questions. I’m wet felting challenged!

[@barbfox4598]

Watching from Seattle!

[@Feeoryne]

your smile looks perfect!!!!

[@natalieyoung6]

We have Anzac Day in Australia for our solders who fought in war. The poppies are made to remember them

[@dianaurban6838]

Thank you for showing how to crinkle the edges. Mine are drying now.

[@terryanderson5038]

If I made more stitch lines would the Petals be more wrinkled? Thank you.

[@riverbenson8932]

Is there a video showing the herring bone layout?

[@LivingFelt]

We need to check on this...

[@patriciabrenner9550]

after you have cut the petals, is it worthwhile to save the bits and scraps for something else or can the smaller pieces maybe used for core?

[@LivingFelt]

I save them 😋

[@judycobillas550]

I have a question. When you are laying out your felt and you have layed out the first layer of fiber, is that considered one layer or is a layer when you lay fiber out in one direction and then lay the fiber out in the opposite direction, is that considered a layer? I hope this makes sense. thank you for another wonderful tutorial!

[@LivingFelt]

Yes😊 each direction can be considered a layer

[@gaphipps]

Does mc1 wet felt quicker than roving wool

[@LivingFelt]

Hi Geoff thanks for the question. "roving" is a method for processing wool into a usable form, as is "batting". Wool that is roving can be long, medium, short, fine, medium, coarse..... it cannot be determined whether a wool will felt (needle felting or wet felting) "quicker" based on roving vs batting. We suggest you might find this video helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a16bmauZoa2BiLc

[@Ecocamilaprintandfelt]

Thank youuuuu !!!

[@evekrueger701]

Hello from Texoma

[@judycobillas550]

Would someone remind me of the name for the LF video that shows how to use the special fibers/luster fibers, bamboo, viscose, etc. I thought that there definitely was one, but I am not seeing it in the tutorials/videos. thank you!

[@dianaurban6838]

I am struggling with felting the stems. Don’t know what I am doing wrong? My wire keeps showing. Going to just needle felt them.

[@AdornamentDesigns]

If you tilt your petal pattern diagonally, you can get more petals from your fabric

[@LivingFelt]

Thanks, Kerri. YES, its true, however we intentionally laid our luster fibers to run vertically so that when we cut the petals, that sheen would also run vertically. If this is not part of your design, you can do as you suggest.

[@jeanettebaxter8472]

My poppies are not as pretty as yours, so I am watching again to see what I did wrong. I have my green ready for next Wednesday.

[@LivingFelt]

I bet they are lovely! Share a pic in our fb group :)

[@AdornamentDesigns]

Was it really just two layers of merino?

[@LivingFelt]

Yes 😊

[@TheEngelens]

Let’s felt

[@sandrajohns7281]

Let’s felt.

[@patriciabrenner9550]

can you use something other than a pool noodle?

[@LivingFelt]

Yes...try a closet pole , or pvc pipe or rolling pin
