Is that what needle felting is? I though you needed some sort of base?

This is what felting is. It’s a very good hobby for somebody who enjoys stabbing ^u^ what do you think I do all day?

Wanna know how it works?

Those needles have barbs that catch and tangle the fibers of the roving (the term for that loose wool) together. The more you stab it the more tightly-packed and the more firm the object becomes. It takes a lot of little stabs to smooth out the texture on the surface and is best done with a single fine gauge needle.

Fun fact: the longer you use a felting needle the sharper it becomes, as the wool polishes the point.

This doesn’t bode well for your fingers but hey. It’s a fun art filled with cute projects, lots of stabbing, blood, and swearing.

this scene right here is hands down the funniest shit I’ve seen come out of this show.

a long time ago when i was a young stoner

my friends and I were hot boxing in a car

everyone proceeded to cough loudly at once

and i described it as a “ca-cough-phony”

I didn’t even realize the magnitude of the pun i had furnished

because i was...fucking faded

lol

I usually put myself in my films, ‘cause like… As a groundbreaking director and also an iconic actor, I mean, you do the math. Why wouldn’t you put those two things together?
