You do yourself a huge disservice when you say you aren’t artistic. All the things that you mentioned, looking at shading, looking at perspective, looking at the color levels and mixes, those are all artistic things. You are artistic. Being artistic is not defined by whether you can draw freehand or not. As a 2-D Felter, I can tell you that what you made is very lovely and definitely beyond just a beginner level.

WOW, I never knew that felting could be so versatile. Your version of this beach and sky is really amazing. I love the little light house. Now I want to tell you something very important. You Are An ARTIST, in every official and unofficial explanation out there. It's easier to just say, "anything made by a the human hand from wood working, sewing, cooking special dishes, crochet, embroidery, painting etc. is absolutely an artist". That's you, an Artist. I love you're video's an you're very clear explanations. Thank you so very much.

It looks amazing! I have started using double sided carpet tape for mounting my 2d pieces, it works really well and was a tip given to me by someone who sells their work, it allows the frame to be changed if something happens to it or want another one a little easier than using glue does, but I agree glue works well and your picture is awesome 😊

This looks amazing! I understand what you mean. Whenever I draw it comes out terrible, but somehow 2d felting is much easier and looks much nicer! When I 2d felt I like to flip it over and trim the extra wool on the back. Do you do that too or do you recommend leaving it as is? Thank you so much for all the tutorials and tips!
