needle felting

[crochetdiva]

Welcome Laura. The duck is adorable. Once a person learns to do it I guess the possibilities are endless. Originally when I wanted to do this I had intended on crocheting victorian dresses and making a felted bear to fit the clothes. I have since purchased the calendar bed doll patterns for 11 1/2 inch dolls. Now I just have to make the bear.

But now I want to make little ponchos like Heather said.

After I ordered my kits I found this website, check it out! I think I am going to get the angora goat. So bad! :rotfl

I am really into this now! I spent my lunch hour on ebay where I purchased a book and a sample pack of rovings for like 30.00 total. I hate it when I get into something new because I go whole hog!

That angora goat is *sooo cute*!!!

[RebeccaVelasquez]

oh i love that goat!! but the sheep OOOOHHHHH :)h

[crochetdiva]

Ok, now I feel guilty for starting all this. Well, just a little.:bad

I am going to work on the bear I am making (my own design) on the weekend and hope to have pics to post by Monday. I don't know how to connect the parts if they are going to be jointed. So I might just take pics of the parts.

 

There are some incredible needle felters out there!!!I love looking at all their work.

[RebeccaVelasquez]

didn't you buy a kit that gave instructions for attaching???

[crochetdiva]

Yep, the lavender bear pattern is supposed to be jointed, and comes with dental floss to attach the parts. I can't quite figure out how to do it without instructions. I have sewn jointed bears before, but they had cotter pins. It will be interesting to see the proper instructions.

You will probably get the kit before I do, since I live out of the country.

[truelove730]

Yeah, really makes your realize how different people are. Different people like different things.

[RebeccaVelasquez]

UGH!! i'm being so impatient, i guess:grumpy

 

i ordered my felting kit on the 18th.... just got todays mail. he still hasn't come

[truelove730]

I hate waiting too! It is better when you don't know something is coming, the surprise is so much better!

 

It will come soon.

[crochetdiva]

I hear you Rebecca, I ordered mine on the 16th, but I know it always takes 10 days or more to get up here. Still, it is hard waiting .

Of course I should be working on the one I have.....

[lauravee]

I am just as inpatient as y'all. I want it now!! I only ordered mine on the 20th. Everyday I race to the mailbox, even thought I know it is too early. Oh well I shall sit and wait.

my teddy bear "kit" came in today.... only missing some items.

 

all i got was the instruction booklet and roving!!!

 

:mad :mad :mad

no needles, no bamboo skewer, no floss, no eyes, no foam

:mad :mad :mad

 

i called them and customer service is supposed to email me back:tryme

[lauravee]

Rebecca, that is such a shame, how dissapointing . Hopefully they will straighten it out and send you everything ASAP. I also received my kit too. I looked over the directions last night and got a little nervous but I am sure it will be fine. Hope you get it all worked out.

 

Laura

[crochetdiva]

Oh No, Rebecca!!! How horrible!! I hope they get it figured out right away. They should offer you something extra. I on the other hand have still not received mine, and I ordered it first.

Not to worry tho, cos I worked on my own design last night and it is coming along great. I have the head, body, and one leg finished. I will post pics later. It is so much fun it should be illegal.:rotfl

I have three new wounds....seriously tho, they only hurt for a second, but you have to be careful not to bleed on the wool. I can't wait to see all of your bears. And I will keep my :fc for you Rebecca.

 

:ducky :sheep

[RebeccaVelasquez]

well, they never contacted me back.....

so i called again this afternoon, told them i either wanted my package sent to me priority or otherwise compensated for the delay.... i was told i would get wool for another bear

[truelove730]

ALRIGHT! Good for you! You showed them! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/boxing_2.gif" />

I'm not sure I understand what needle felting is. Can someone explain it to me? !
