Edit: hello Philippa. I am now 13 and am much better at felting. :) Still not as good as I'd like to be (and certainly not as good as you) but at least I'm improving. Every time I need inspiration I look at this video.

Lovely dog and so relaxing to watch. Can tell how carefully thought out it was, especially with the details in the fur. My sisters dog just passed away on friday and I was thinking of making her a dog but it has so many unique markings, I'm getting intimidated thinking about making it.

I'm so glda to find your channel. I've felted a few things before, but you really take it a huge step forward. I felted my brother's dog that passed. It wasn't great, but he loves her. Now I am doing his other dog that passed. This will help me tremendously. Though I already started. Wondering if I should start over. Do you do any consulting? I could pay you for a quick lesson, tips and tricks?

hi i was wondering how do you do the fur effect (only stabbed down at the root, the rest not being stabbed down) without it getting kind of frizzy/fluffy? Since I haven't been able to remove the frizz by stabbing it because that would ruin the fur texture. Lovely video
