I don't know how you came up in my feed, but I am glad that you did. You did a beautiful job.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thanks so much ❣️

[@kathydittmer9659]

Love it! I’m just a beginner and so happy I found your channel!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you, hope you are enjoying your felting x

[@annabelle5837]

He came out brilliantly! I've never bought an animal kit, I really must start x

[@feltsbyphilippa]

I liked this one, better than the fox ❣️

[@shepherd4406]

Happy 2023. This was a nice addition to my 2023. I had a white llama and this is the best llama that I have seen. I would like to try it but I think I need to work a bit more with easier armature projects. Thank you.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

It's a beautiful llama, I really enjoyed it, thanks for watching ❣️

[@dodosmamma1692]

This was really interesting and I loved the outcome. I’m amazed at your expertise Philippa. I feel I’ll never get there sometimes. I made your mouse and toadstool and was really happy with the result since I’m a beginner. I then tried to do one of your sheep tutorials with the grey Wensleydale locks. A massive fail but I’ve learned that less wool means more chance of succeeding. My son loves the toadstool and mouse and I asked him about the sheep. He asked me what is it? Savage.😂

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Yes, that's savage, mine say nice cat when it's a dog! 🙈. Honestly just keep practicing when you can, lots of free tutorials so look at as many felters as possible, little tips really help, thanks for watching ❣️

Oh he is just spectacular!! I have the deer kit, I feel like you’ve taught me so much and maybe I’m ready to take that one on❤

Oh yes, the deer will be gorgeous, I keep looking at the Highland Cow one, I must be mad! 😄x

Kits, master classes,felt alongs, tutorials , always great to learn and share knowledge with other fiber fans,also great ways to support artists you enjoy,I love the way your Lennon turned out as well!:)

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you, I really enjoyed doing him, pushed myself a bit to do things I don't normally do, thanks for watching ❣️

[@palominolady3838]

aww he's (she's? haha) so cute! i love how you did the ears, they look really good!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thanks, always makes them really flat x

[@sherrybowlin1208]

I always learn so much from you. This llama is so beautiful. I especially like the eyes. That is a great tip about taping the joints of the armature.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it ❣️x

[@vaniaalmeida6073]

He is gorgeous!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thanks so much Vania x

[@jacquibrown4271]

I never thought of using tape 🤦🏼‍♀️ to keep the legs in place! What a fab idea, thanks 😊

[@feltsbyphilippa]

It really helps, stops them moving too much x

Thanks! X

[@annwainwright5288]

Thank you Phillipa ❤️ Once again lots of good advice with your own knowledge added to the kit. Thank you. X I found it very interesting as always with your video's

[@feltsbyphilippa]

That's very kind of you, thank you so much for watching and commenting ❣️

[@myfabulouslifewithlupus]

I was curious about this topic and whether to try kits at all since you can often get much more in new supplies than with the cost of the kit but now I know they can also be like a mini course book or any other learning tool. Thanks for sharing.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Yes, I thinkvi learn something from each of these kits, it might be just a small technique that could make a difference on your future felts. In person would be better but more expensive, thanks for watching ❣️

[@marianneburgher4177]

Absolutely beautiful, I have learned so much from you!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you, that's very kind x

[@jillweisensee8524]

I love kits. I’m hoping YOU might consider doing a 2D kit based on the lovely highland cow framed piece you did recently. ?? 🤞Have a lovely week, Pippa!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

I am considering a 2d felt kit, have one more 3d kit to create very soon, hope you are well, thanks for watching Jill ❣️

[@AbqIlona]

I'm very new to felting so I've been focusing on the kits but I did wonder recently if I would always make things from kits once I got better. It's like you read my mind and confirmed my thoughts! I believe I will always enjoy kits. I do like the tip about using heat with a mini flat iron to flatten ears. Thanks!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Yes, really gets lovely flat ears. Even now, I am looking at the Highland Cow kit at world of wool despite the fact I have made lots, definitely worth trying the odd kit, keeps it fresh x

[@dawnmason2378]

Brilliant job. I just hate armature, must practice some.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Practice definitely helps but you don't have to use armature, some felters don't use it at all x

[@StarwaveFelting]

I guess I'm just not good at making realistic animals, but I've bought two World of Wool kits, wolf and Unicorn, and they both turned out really bad (especially the wolf. It looked nothing like the picture on the box). Instead of throwing them away, I used them as bases to make a fantasy wolf and a fiery Unicorn (both based on video game characters) and was a lot happier with the results. The WoW kits definitely taught me a couple of new techniques. Unfortunately I don't think that I will be buying any of their kits again.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

They are quite challenging pieces and the wire isn't very good, well done for doing them and turning them into pieces you are happy with xx

[@wrightpat]

Love the video, but so upset World of Wool have now discontinued the Llarma

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Yes, they do sell it to trade so it's in other stockist if you want one x

[@wrightpat]

@@feltsbyphilippa yes please Philippa

[@wrightpat]

@@feltsbyphilippa how do I get in touch with you, regarding buying a kit, should I go to your etsy store

[@feltsbyphilippa]

I am not a stockist of theirs, sorry, I meant you could ask them who their stockists are that might have a kit x
