Love the eyes! Absolutely enjoy your videos, keep them coming!
Aw thank you for your lovely comments, glad you like the videos 😁
I absolutely love your channel! I am brand new to needle felting… have only made balls so far but they are almost perfect! Your videos give me confidence!
Aw thank you for this, sounds like you're doing really well, so glad my videos are giving you confidence, thanks for watching
You enlightened me on this one; it never occurred to me the usefulness of a strip of paper to measure the position of the eyes...I'm sounding like a dunce here but I'm on a steep learning curve and I appreciate the detailed tips on your channel. I love the fluffy eyes and the feather patterning, cheers for the how-to for these as well! 🥰
Aw thank you for your lovely comments, I'm still learning each time I make something, you don't sound like a dunce at all, glad you found the strip of paper idea and the other tips useful 😊 thanks for watching.
Cute little owl
That's the beauty of felting whatever comes to mind, a trial and error of techniques to achieve the effect you are after. Very creative🤗💗
Thank you, very true, I do love working out what works best, it is a great craft for that 😁
So adorable. Thanks for the tips. I have to make couple Owls in different colors. This video is a big help as I just started yesterday with a mini bichon that now I know wasn't tight enough. But ok for first try. Lol.

Just been asked to try felting some small,owls , your video has given me a direction and easier way to try feather effect, thank you so,much , mine will prob look like your mutant one lol
I have mutant collection !
Aw thanks for this, glad you've found it helpful, I'm sure your owl won't turn out like Ozzy (I thought I'd give him a name 😁) but I love the idea of a mutant collection 🤣 thanks for watching
are you able to utilize the trimmed off bit of cream tops from around the eyes? Or is not waste?
Thanks for the question, yes you can use the trimmed off pieces if you want to, maybe you could add it to other wool to cover the core wool with that colour? Hope this helps, thanks for watching
Cool. What about cats?
Thanks for this, glad you liked it, I have made a video on needle felting a small cat here if you'd like to check it out: ua-cam.com/video/35sI8Yr3FKI/v-deo.html
