Sprite Felt Along

i'll blame the hounds we're a little late and i said i'm going to blame the hounds because we filmed hounds this week make sure my sound is off because i i it wasn't hi everybody everybody saying hi hello where they're from lots of familiar names and faces um so yes welcome we're gonna make we have a fun project today and this is the kind of project that i love because i don't have to have a reference picture and i get to like pull from all different kinds of fiber and create almost like a color palette that i'm excited about and pull inspiration from different things like the yarn the locks the colors um the wings we talked about making some wings and i used the feather technique to make two sets so i might trim these a little bit they're a little on the large side and then i made these little leaf ones and then i kind of just pulled some stuff in like color families that i like so i'll show you that in one second but the plan is to make i'm gonna work on the larger size and i will show the armature for the smaller size so if you guys are working along or if you're just following the video at home later i'm going to use three 22 gauge wires in total two for the big one and one for the small one so far i have made lock hair yarn little wings just by using um the fur technique just stabbing the yarn right in the center onto her back and she's a little yarn headband oh are we over i could use overhead we are they want to see the leaves too oh okay i'll show i'll show everything kind of up close um so should i mostly use the overhead um probably okay i'm making you small okay bye shrinking i'm shrinking um and then i made her yarn tight so that's that one oh and i've also been using all pieces of leftover like unsuccessful nice shrunk unsuccessful flower remnants so that's kind of fun and you don't have to use any of these things or all of them or you know just pick and pull what um what you would like to use so this is a half size one she's one of my favorite ones she has a little flower skirt i used the leaf i'm sorry snap pea for her for her legs and chick yellow for her body i'm just using gnome nude today but you could use any skin tone and she has lock hair and then i made a tiny little silk um little leafy necklace on her this one this one cracks me up okay so it has i don't know if it's a he or it's he's just a they have a um yarn afro which i love and a great big coming out of a great big flower and some locks underneath and the snappy legs snap pea legs work really well and this was um um what is this color azure with the blue raspberry over it this one was like the last one i made i really wanted to use this um this was meant to be a calla lily leaf and it's a little it's a little too like i don't know not well planned out for me but i like the hair um fiber art bundles would be a great a great inspiration for these guys and then she's fun i think she was the first one i made she has silk hair just straight mulberry silk and a yarn skirt and fuchsia and this was a flower pod that is now her beret striking all of this yeah i mean and then you could you could put her hair up like it is just it is just so much fun and so simple like so satisfying and so simple all right my favorite one is gonna sit here and keep us company while we while we felt so today okay i'll show the wings what i what i think i'm gonna work with is this set and i kind of have a kind of vintagey color palette um so i am gonna put the snap p on the legs but i think she's gonna get this green tea tights which is in the um thank you and then this was some mistake um locks they were in a bag labeled weird locks um i think that's going to be her hair or maybe her skirt because i also really want to put this fur in with this i like the gold and pink and purple together so maybe this will be her hair and this will just be an accent i don't know i'm gonna figure it out as i go and then i have this piece of um orangey silk that can be something so we'll we'll we'll figure that one out oh i did pull a bat that i had sitting around if i wanted her belly not to be so bright so that's a less less bright one less straightforward from the um from the fibers that were in the fiber fairy and then for the for another one i have some leaf wings so i thought i would go with a flower theme i could use this is kind of on the large side for a small one but i could i could use this as a skirt or kind of coming up out of the flower like this one is although this and wings might be a lot this is actually a bit much for these are actually even a bit much for a small one so i might simplify that and then if you have moose moss this isn't actually moose moss but this also came out of the weird locks bag and um and then i just picked a yarn but like i said you don't have to use every el every element okay how's everybody doing uh somebody was curious to know about the difference between silk like from a felting perspective i guess the mulberry versus the tussaf and then someone was curious what colors you used in those leaf wings okay the leaf wings i blended a lot of stuff together so i i'm sorry i don't remember but it was a couple of merinos and sage silk and maybe um dune mulberry silk or like i i put a bunch of stuff in there i was i was just having a good time and same with these um i might have a little bit of fiber left from making those yeah it's just a it's a big mix of stuff big mix of stuff yeah have fun with it you know like just you can there's a couple of ways to go um you can put like colors together which is going to be successful because they're light colors and they're just going to bounce off of each other or i have another set um that i made and i intentionally mixed um complementary colors or kind of opposites on the color wheel and so you're going to end up with a dull color because i put a gold in with um hush you know i put i put green in there i put a pink in there so green and pink are cancelling each other out um hush and the gold are cancelling each other out those are compliments so that ends up with a very sort of ethereal you think what sword i'm looking for it's fear i think so thank you um you know this would be a lot of fun to use um but if you're if you do plan to make a leaf or a feather using the feather twisting um technique i would put some silk in there because it's just it's just fun and i mean you can make it out of anything you could make it out of a you know out of a more coarse wall it just depends on what you're trying to do and then the um mulberry versus the tussle silk mulberry is like uh i don't have any tusa out here but mulberry is really long and shiny and smooth and tusa this is mulberry and tusa has just a little bit less not quite as shiny a little bit of texture texture to it sorry i dropped something any other questions not that i see okay let's make some armatures let's make the big one first you're gonna need two wires it's going to look like this and this is the small one this is so fun so did you say that the small one was half apart yeah approximately it's one wire okay yeah it's not actual size between the two gets really different like it seems more than just double the size am i making sense um it's not the wire lengths are not exit half okay so um so it doesn't quite work out that way because on the big one we cut some wires off on the small line we use the whole wire yeah the small one just seems so much smaller yeah but it's not half as small it's not happening it's larger than half a second okay it's maybe 60 percent 62.75 welcome percent spray jokes oh spray no there's no spray jokes all right i am not liking where this camera is but it's gonna be okay which one the other the overhead i think it's okay um okay first wire we want a one inch head loop so you just kind of let the wires cross squish them down to about an inch and then twist the neck i like a nice long neck i'm gonna do three or four twists especially because once you wrap the head you know getting all the wool on the head eats up a little bit of the neck and then i find more success pointing my head wire forwards and backwards and just opening it up a little bit then having it flat like a pancake and i am just making little round faceless um creatures i'm not lee was put in eyes and they can be really really cute so you can play with that taking a take it a break from eyes and then the second wire we're gonna put on her neck i guess i go over the back i don't know i don't think it matters and then do two twists pretty tight like you don't want the shoulder getting big i like to make them a little childlike by having a big head little belly a little butt and then bring these two wires together i'm at about an inch and three quarters the distance doesn't totally matter although again they'll be more childlike if their torso is a little bit shorter and two or three twists at the waist three is good on this size and we need to make a little hip just so that they can have a little a little booty and i'm going three quarters of an inch out and giving the wire a bend not quite 90 degrees here you don't want them sticking straight out it's maybe at about a 45. i'm finding naughty jokes and when i looked up sprite it was all about the soda so once you get into gnomes pixies and spikes in the joke land it's it's a dangerous road that you travel now funny it should be so innocent oh my gosh i just love love locks have to use that one yeah maybe i'll put azure on her legs instead of we'll see okay i was just giving everybody a little time but from the hip from the hip what did i say [Music] we want to go three and a half inches so i'm going to put the hip on three and a half and then give the wire a bend and that's going to be her foot right now her feet are two inches what i'm not telling the jokes tricia they would get us kicked off of youtube i think okay and then we're going to bend the feet at three quarters of an inch and that should give you a little wire hopefully behind that you can make a tiny little heel and if it doesn't that's okay these are this is a non-stressful day or hour and a half anyway look at those crazy arm long arms i know that's like me this is the little kyla sprite did you know that your arm when you put your arms down on the ground and go like that it's as tall as you are you know what's easier just put your arms like this measure that and that's just well if you do that then you can hold it and then stand up and see where it is like your arm your arm your arm is your height it's so funny yeah i like i love stuff like that so right now my arms are six inches my sprites arms and we want to cut them at four so i'm putting the shoulder at four well it's easier just to like put a bend and then cut you're really good at snapping that and getting the sometimes i don't sometimes yeah and then i just make a little hand loop i'm again i'm not like not going crazy on the hands just making a little loop and then yeah they're fun like the elbow is like about at the waist well let me i'll give you a measurement uh inch and a half is the elbow inch and a half from the shoulder see already they have a lot of character and it's fun to make them have little like i said little bellies little butts little bony knees didn't really do many bony elbows just because they're just because they're tiny what do you call a sprite who refuses to shower um i don't know what a stinker bell we have the thinker bell in the stinker belt oh the finger bell and the tinker bell oh that is the tinkerbell that's the fingerboard all right let's make a little one before we begin to wrap kylie you could make one look at all these armatures i have i have a lot going on yeah oops i need the you know i just thought to myself i still need the ruler but then i moved it anyway okay so the little spritelet spritetti if you're italian spritino um is we wanna this wire is 18 inches we wanna cut it at eight leaving ten so that gives us our two our two armature wires take your time and make sure you cut in the right place because in this one we use every every bit of wire i can't wait to get our new wires that's going to be very exciting yeah we've been waiting yeah you are waiting we're waiting um so i have an 8 and 10 inch wire [Music] [Laughter] [Music] you guys are safe at home um just over there burping away picking your nose okay so for the small one with the eight inch wire we're gonna find the center and we're gonna make a half inch head so tiny it's you know it's a little bit bigger than half an inch don't don't squeeze it too hard um and then yeah two two twists is good and then you do another half by turning the head forward there we go so that leaves an arm that's two and three quarter inches long is the light okay on here too i feel like that's dark but that might be my laptop it might have gone into a sleepy mode yeah okay it's you're brighter than okay then you're surprised yes though okay john's gone so we're we're on our own we've been spoiled that's for sure find the center of the 10 inch wire and this one i only do one twist on the shoulder just one but make sure it's nice and tight and that'll keep it from make sure they're married well and that'll keep it from spinning around on you someone's interest is peaked by your new wire statement yeah we found a company a u.s company that makes cloth covered wire and unfortunately we found them right when they're moving their manufacturing building which i can't even imagine like this machinery has to be gigantic um but the the the in the near future hopefully the cloth covered wire selection is going to grow the price versus how many you get is gonna shift a little bit but the quality is superior and the like i said the um um the variety of what we can get is is exciting so all right just cross the waist i'm at about an inch two twists you can give her a tiny little half inch hip not even quarter inch two and a half inches long oh that's the leg no that's not quite gonna happen um on these i'm just bending i think because i gave her a hip i'm just bending the feet out um i'm not even gonna fold it around and my feet are different lengths so i'll just cut this one a tiny bit how did you name the new carter delfino oh it was a group effort um sassy and i both like dante right away he needed there's a lot of italian names that are a little hard for us to say you know there were some recommendations i was like i couldn't wrap my tongue around it so dante is is is so good and delfino um came from my sister beth who um who thought it kind of went with seraphina oh yeah but i think delfino really literally is dolphin maybe which really has nothing to do with what we're doing except that i don't know i liked the strong against the more fine kind of and i always end up with alliteration it just happens and then the arms are pretty much where they should be so we just turn a little loop around teeny tiny yeah where sassy has been carting like a maniac the new bats are gorgeous they'll slowly replace the old we're not going to you know it's we're just going to let them the change isn't so dramatic that we're going to make any big switch we'll just let them replace each other as it happens and we have the potential to make roving but we haven't figured that out yet so it's going to be really fun okay now i don't need the ruler anymore all right let's start on let's start with some gnome nude or whatever your skin tone is or whatever core you plan to use so i'm going to get a wrap on the arms and hands and i'm going to work with a half of a six inch piece i'm going to keep it thin at the top of the arm because i am going to cover this with color but i am like locking it down pretty good on itself i'm going to keep it pretty thin the whole way but the upper arm is going to get another another layer you can decide if she has short sleeves or long sleeves what these are so simple there's not a lot of shapes there's not it's pretty much wrapping and then like embellishment oh i have way too much fiber here did i miss a funny judy who's been providing us with jokes said wow there's so many dirty jokes about fantasy figures like fairy snows how long is the mini from hip to foot okay one second i'm gonna crisscross on the hand to get a little pulling away as soon when you're wrapping as soon as you can tell that you have too much fiber or how much you need go ahead and pull it off because the tighter you get um you need the ruler it's right here um the harder it gets to to pull that off so i'm doing a little crisscross trying not see how i have my thumb right there i'm trying not to let it travel back up her upper arm it is two and a quarter from the hip to the foot right i was going for two and a half but my wife got a little short yeah waist is two and a half shoulder to waist wait sorry waist to the foot is two and a half hip to the foot okay is like two and a quarter here measure um measure another one just okay just to see that's closer to two and a half yeah they're all going to be slightly different all right i'm gonna do the other arm oh my gosh you guys tell me some news give me some outside outside news let's see what could be a good a good topic they like the uh giant ball of gnome moon there's a lot of there's a lot of giant bags of wool around here everybody would like it's fun it's really it's really fun i do need a good new series i keep trying shit's creek and i just can't but i have watched a lot of tv so good luck telling me something that i haven't seen already she does have a mitten hand yes essentially yeah no fingers yeah oh gosh no especially like when you make the smaller one you'll see you'll have a lot of fun with it but so when i get to a smaller detail you can see me drafting out because i i need a thinner a thinner bit of wool just to target such a small place sweet tooth is an adorable new show oh yeah um jennifer watched it new tricks that's a british series did you watch discovery of witches i started that one and i felt like the first episode was did not captivate me but i could i could give it another try it's right up my alley it's totally up my alley heist no i didn't see heist i need to write these down it'll be in our chat thread class farm what clarkson's clarkson's farm that's on amazon what was the other one i was gonna revisit oh discovery of witches oh sweet tooth new tricks is the british series i haven't heard of that new tricks you saw gracie and frankie right oh yeah that was awesome manna-fest is great so is mayor of east town mayor of east town shadow and bone shadow and bone i feel like i also maybe tried i don't know thank you thank you thank you discovery of which gets better okay okay i was i was hoping because i was like wow you know this is like a super could be like super rich visually and you know relationship wise and i was like what are they doing yeah um okay gnome nude let's do another six inch piece two halves it's just a nice size to work with and we're gonna wrap the neck and head so start at the base of the neck i get things really tight and anchored by going like letting it lock itself down by going over itself somebody gave the blood sacrifice for today watch the needle not sarah to everyone and then i pulled the head like it's i mean it's a circle but i kind of think of it as a square so that i can wrap from facet to facet so i'm around there now i'm going to go around here and then around there over here sweet tooth i don't know anything else it's like little mutant kids [Laughter] little like babies born with like they're like mixed mixed with animals i don't know i don't i know nothing about it except that that's what i saw on the preview i like their necks to be skinny so i don't do much more there yet but the other half will do the head again and then at some point you can't do this anymore because the the edges get too um yeah see like i i can't pull it around anymore so i'm just going to go straight around like the edges get less defined this is the hardest part i think because it's hard to make a circle someone asked why the head is positioned that way because in fact we think of our faces as this flat thing but in fact our heads have like a ton of depth and that in sculpture is the harder thing to achieve so if you just turn your wire to the deep way it it helps to do that what laura said it avoids pancake-facing face yes and then i'm i'm putting her on her head and stabbing down oh on the um i went um paddle boarding with my sister and a couple people a couple of people were trying to do yoga on the paddle boards and that's like sarah do a head stand do a headstand i'm like that's such a big sister moment like you do it sarah squat down at the top of the steps this is true story hold your grab your knees with your arms don't worry it's a miracle i'll be a doctor she's a doctor it's a miracle i survived to bring felting uh to you today sisters can be brutal to each other not just older but you know okay so i'm thinking round so that's you know as i'm stabbing i'm i'm thinking rounds but i definitely need another piece now she's you have either pancake face or fish fish head so we need to we need to add some more i'm just gonna do another half of six inches and see where that gets me and i can also go this way the toothache wrap and i should be able to kind of turn a corner and do the blindfold wrap and this might do it somebody also named the creative competition shows full bloom great pottery throwdown all that glitters yeah blown away i need to watch great project pottery throw down full bloom i don't know also forged in fire yeah i think i've seen a lot of that one i get i like the competition shows and then i get a little annoyed with the it's nice to mix it up the format it is a miracle any of us survived yes yes it's true oh gosh riding in the middle of the front seat oh my gosh as kyla and i are getting ready to send the boys to to college yeah oh yeah we weren't in the back of the truck oh yeah oh my gosh okay let's pick a i'm gonna pick a body color it's time well let me do the legs first i said i was gonna use azure which i think will go with this because i'm going to cover it with this so i want something underneath that's going to kind of go and you can use core or you can use top coat in this project i feel like core is actually really really easy to use we'll do six inch pieces again just getting off this weird bit i'm just gonna give that a little stretch i want to hit the waist and then start to go down i'm stretching this out i split this in half half of a six inch piece it's still a little thick so i'm kind of stretching as i go but i'm keeping my eye on the roving trying to keep it consistent with the tights it's a little harder to see a knobby knee but i'll still show that with the yarn over top of the legs i mean and then does the foot want to be a different color i think the foot does want to be a different color if you're using like snappy on your leg you might just want to make the foot that color but i'm going to pull this off try to finish it out without getting too bulky here i'm looking at the um at my screen and it's a just a fun fun mix of fibers different color foot fun we'll see maybe her feet will be i don't know yet i think i might even have to wait which is could be problematic for other people i think i'm going to make her feet gnome nude because then she can either be barefoot or i could put the pink on there you know what i mean like just some something a little different it's been a hot hot week here but we are getting storms tonight and it's only going to be 82 tomorrow so that's awesome it's a good thing if my air conditioner keeps oh my gosh oh my gosh all right i have a little tiny strip of gnome nude left so that's what i'm going to use i've got about a four inch piece this is probably more like a quarter of gnome nude and i'm gonna go around the ankle and then i use the little t that we made with the heel to like you can wrap around it to make a better foot shape i mean this is a actually a great deal of anatomical detail for such a little a wee little sprite oh my piece fell off of my heel that's all right i'll stab it back on i will stab it into submission treasure said there's been no rain in vancouver for a month that's so stressful yeah i hate drought i mean nobody likes straw but it just i'm very aware of it it stresses me out john's back hello we got 110 plume pallets sold out in less than 24 hours so more on the way i think all of them are shipped yeah well i like her little bare feet what else can i tell you we filmed pounds which is huge we have to finish designing the course i have a couple more references to make the problem with the heel wrap is that i end up going i'm just going to do this one like this can't i got one foot a little bigger than the other which i have one foot bigger than the other yeah noticeably they're just in shoes freakishly [Laughter] no just slight dress i always wear eight and a half i don't have to get an eight and a half and a nine we have feet let's make some little knock knees um i have a couple little pieces of blue so that's what i'm going to use you just need a small section decide where the knee is which should be about halfway between the um the hip and the ankle and then just do a little criss and cross keep it the secret to making a small bump is to crisscross in a very small space as soon as you start sprawling you don't get a little bump you get like a a bee sting how's everyone doing with their wrapping actually i do want more um on the thigh i forgot i'm just curious if people are still finishing their armatures or what oh okay yeah we can we can i can stop for a minute i am going to put more fiber on the thigh you're like what's the matter all right these are some very knock knees they're gonna look a little less crazy when she has more fiber on her thighs and if you are putting yarn tights they're gonna diminish everybody need another minute was there any feedback uh some people are still wrapping the head somebody's watching not doing anything some people are taking notes and then they watch it later good all right on the thighs i'm going to take a four inch piece split it in half stretch it out and do another wrap down this might be a bit much this this roving is thick so i'm going to pull it off because i don't want to get i don't want to be too huge as i approach the knee we've had some people switch to note-taking yeah i think it's nice just to hang out and absorb visually and you know well this sort of forces people then to watch it ahead of time like we often say yeah the whole thing first exactly it's true it's nice to know where you're headed and what's what's next okay i'm gonna get some fiber on the body before i make her little butt some foot skin issues let's see what color as you can see i've done a lot of different color torsos the fuchsia is really fun but because i'm more muted i'm going to stick to no nude and then decide what color so let me with your single needle 38 yeah yeah um like a seven inch piece of gnome nude i don't know i just went a little longer than six inches or whatever body color you're using and then you go around the waist a couple times she's not making a butt yet it will make a butt didn't make a butt yet i just want to get some fiber on the torso and then i go over the shoulder around the chest and you got to go over the shoulder and around the chest and do that a few times i'm going to do it twice with both pieces of fiber both seven inch halves or six inch halves i think it's kind of good to turn it the other way and do it because then your crisscross maybe hits a slightly different way i don't know so i'm facing her face down now i'm going around the body over the shoulder under the armpit around the back over the shoulder and then around the body these don't get a lot of body shape detail just just a belly and a butt there we go okay to make the butt i'm gonna use the same colors the legs are and i'm gonna take a six inch piece um split it in half but i'm really gonna stretch it out this is a pretty chunky so i'm gonna give it a gentle tug one of your multi-tools is 38 right and the other one is 36s yeah that's a uh yes the 36 one might be a 38 and a 36. okay sometimes 236's is just really strong but i don't remember she could face front or forward forwards or backwards i have her facing away from me i don't know why that's easier and then you go around one leg and across the front and then around the other leg we do this in the gnomes and across the back and you keep it just keep it right up towards the top so around that leg across the front around the other leg and across the back and then i would i would stop there so that was two you know two full symmetrical and that begins to make a nice little hip area but we want her to have a super fun butt so we can take our other half wrap the zuli tool you don't have to wrap this a little tool you could just it's probably actually better let's fold it in our hands let's take a three inch piece of the other half get your take your time to get your fiber even and then just fold a little kind of thumb width pillow in your hands you give it a little pull to make a butt crack in the middle stab down the center and then each side is a butt cheek so simple what would bob ross say about a butt cheek i think it would be perky it's your world your butt cheek can be perky your butt cheek could be small your butt cheek could be blue but we're just gonna stab the butt cheeks they just gave you a beavis and butt head cherie she said butt crack you shape the butt the way you want the butt oh look at it that little little bum now if i weren't putting yarn on i'll show you what i would do i would take a two a really thin piece of fiber and just do one band-aid on each side to pull the um to hide the all the seam and everything like that just kind of pulls it together then you can if you really want to re-accentuate like the ruched like everything's ruched now up your butt [Music] that is a style that i think we're gonna be like what the same thing does happen to the smaller sprite just smaller amounts oh yeah yeah okay now she needs a belly we're just getting to the fun part getting right to the fun part all right i need to decide on clothing for this deer thing i think i'm going to use this i have this other pink that's more pink yeah the other one is a little more skin tone yeah i don't want it to get all not not fun naked um this is just some crazy crazy bat that i made that's really not for needle folding but i'm gonna use it anyway so the belly you can take your core color um get about more like eight inches split it in half and i would just wrap the zuli tool i'm going to put my i'm using a top coat so i'm going to put that on top i don't know what i'm doing but it usually works out i mean i didn't have to just put that top coat on top because it gets wrapped anyway but oh well okay now i mean this is up to you like are they a little been eaten too many berries or like how big are they so i like to just taper you know taper one end on the chest and then have the other end be a little bit more rounded at the bottom she's a little pregnant spike sprite okay and then you need a nice long strip a long thin strip either of your core or your top coat or whatever it is you're using to go all of the way around and then over the shoulders again and that is going to bring everything together we hope that's the goal this is pretty stripey uh blend oh she is she's like a gonna be a mama sprite i'll figure it out someone said she's got a little berry beer belly a berry belly she sure does oh i like that color it is pretty yeah so on her arms i think i'm going to do kind of like i did the legs another little layer of gnome nude and then just a little bit of my top coat to um to give her some sleeves i might even do a little accent on her sleeves i don't i don't want this traveling up her neck there stabbing that back down oh yeah oh my gosh i just know that like so many cool things are gonna you guys are gonna get like way more creative than than i am i think i'm gonna give her a little elbow whoops i almost broke my my fiber people are talking about wool morphing and kind of just becoming what it wants to be yeah definitely has its own energy and life and then the craft itself takes you know takes on a direction because of that which i realize is what they're saying oh my gosh and then you get to pick hair it's just so much fun or a piece of a flower or box my elbow crisscross went awry i got it i got it back under control my left elbow or hawk or whatever i'm doing that wrap on is always worse than my right always like less defined not as well executed oh she's in a fun little pose i think we should dresses our sprites and then take a manini picture okay and then a little bit of fiber at the top of each shoulder maybe she's gonna have a little poof she's gonna have a shoulder poof i just decided like 80s yeah kinda maybe just gonna try it it just felt like she was looking a little slumpy she needs a little fun oh geez i'm gonna do this okay yeah like a poofy sleeve not so much like shoulder pads like um like when you were little and you had yeah gathery more on the arms and the shoulder i guess it's my futuristic sprite the ac is not working for me kyla oh really yeah it's on i know it's on it's okay oh yeah that's a good idea oh it's starting it's starting but if you can put put it up put it up another it might be loud can you guys hear that i think it's kind of loud put it down one let me give you like 10 seconds look look look at the fiber [Music] thank you all right i don't know how i'm gonna oh i know what i need to do a little double decker taco oh man i'm trying to keep it simple now i'm making like clothing it's all right your fiber's still flying a little bit yeah silk and fans do not work together well that's for sure the carter dante makes such a fine web of fiber that's coming off the end that we can't run the air conditioning at the same time because it breaks or pushes the web but um right now we um we turned the vent it's just unfortunate placement of the vent yeah pointing right yeah right at it so we turned the vent and now it has a cardboard hat or like a box hat so the the box just makes the air go somewhere else and that seems to be that seems to be working all right so now i have two double decker tacos and what these do for me is allow me to get these little sleeves on um oh geez she's gonna look like shakespearean but what i want to do is get like a little gather over around the poof you know what i mean like right there but yeah she's gonna look shakespearean oh boy she just looks like she's very very girly it's okay i don't know what i would have done with girls i would have managed it's a terrible thing to say a lot of extra clothes oh so much shopping but then i i would have kind of liked that too like when uh like when evan or max wants to go shopping and i'm like yay i get to dress them we get to go clothes shopping i put my better side on the wrong side oh i know what she needs the orange in her shirt that's what's gonna make it better don't you worry in case you all were worried oh i like her little outfit what's next tights just gotta put the fluff on i love this green tea um yarn and then wrap her down and it'll just do its thing you could just put two thin pieces of um merino together and make a stripe tight you don't have to use the yarn you know that's kind of a chunk chunky end to manage there but i'm gonna manage oh boy oh boy i got it oh that's cute yeah any of these colors could be a lot of fun what breed of wool is the yarn it's the new zealand um mix um new zealand domestic blend yeah so i i don't know actually yeah we we buy this i'm gonna try to make this one a little less chunky that was better do not stab yourself this is my number one felting takeaway oh i like all those little colors in there and then we just need to get a piece across her butt or a couple let me think about how i want to do this i could do a butt swirl i think i'm just going to take some of it and just yeah just work it on i i don't know yet if she's going to have a skirt or so i don't know how detailed this needs to be but it doesn't have to be thick just a thin layer to match the rest of it alrighty you guys are almost done wings oh my gosh i totally forgot about the wings because they need to go because i haven't made any whiskey with wings okay so if you're using yarn or fur or anything um that doesn't need to be prepared you you just put two fur applications on the back um but i did make wings and i have already felted her entire shirt and torso if i hadn't um somewhere before i put this top coat on i would have wired the wings on but now we get to troubleshoot you do you're gonna problem solve so i'm not sure if it's sharp enough to poke through we're gonna see whenever someone says they poked something through i'm like how did you do that because in my experience like when you've felt something it's not going through you know and that is the case so i'm just going to make her bigger put a little layer on top i can and i can really like pull this tight so she doesn't actually have to get that much bigger i can just pull this really tight i don't like to twist my wires together it makes a big clump that you then have to um like work around somehow sabine said to use an awl oh okay like pre-make your hole with a broken needle well you guys are teaching me they're so cute yeah great i'm just scr really like really pulling that on there oh my gosh yeah so cute so that's a lot of wire in there so i'm going to wrap with some of my top coat see if i can stab it on but that was not ideal i would have put this on and then i would have kind of built the wrapped around it yeah but it's okay it's all good i'm gonna go over one those of you taking notes over behind yeah and i gotta get these centered yeah so those wires are thin enough you could thread a needle thread the wire i don't think you had said which colors were actually in those wings right it was right it's uh definitely some hush and that um there's a there's a toss of silk um i don't know i'd have to look i'm confident that if you guys pick some merino and so you're going to make a really beautiful uh really beautiful wing color kind of hard to go wrong with it hush maybe some seamus yeah i put some blue in there i don't know if it was sky or september it wasn't violent soap was it no it's too that's much stronger yeah look in the um tusa section there's a um there's a purple in there fog yeah yep oh shell is a pretty shell is so pretty i actually shell is in that shell is in this one okay oh it's so pretty um i pulled a whole pink array um i love that a little vertical piece just to make sure i have all the wires covered and then i can the nice thing about wired wings is they can go different ways this medium is so amazing i mean you really can just like change things fix things don't even know you don't even know i probably would have had them a little higher but they'll they'll look okay once they're on there okay hair oh no i think she has to have pink hair otherwise she'll get too serious yeah exactly and then i don't know what her skirt's going to be or if she's going to have a skirt maybe maybe hair and wings is enough but she does have a cute butt and a nice belly she does already have tights and cuteness oh but i did want i can add this so she can have a little belt i do a belt with a bow so i need about that much and maybe this will be her little um arm trim too i might need to locate myself some glue not sure i'm gonna have the patience to i feel so alone when kyla leaves oh yeah i like this i like this so locks as hair i've just been like in the front you can kind of use the the end tip to be like a little bang or um a little kind of detail and then oh man there's some really cute i'm like where else can i put these little box some really cute locks i'll be okay oh thank you you say i was gone i did i said i'm sad when you're gone or you can felt the center and have both ends stick up it just depends on how much of an afro you want her to have and like how long your locks are but i do need to be careful of my wings work with a little less there it's getting a little impatient because these are like oh you know somewhat kinky sheep locks i don't need i don't have to have um an wool if i just um if i just take my time and stab a lot she'll be fine if you're if you're making something for a kid you know maybe you want a little more hold there norma said help somewhere between the head and the blouse i lost the neck oh you just got to pull that fiber i mean really like if you were here with me i would just take the take that head fiber take that shoulder fiber and just re-expose it um you really can like up towards the head yes put it like this dab up towards the head um you know if you didn't wrap the neck way too much then you should be able to recover it but you can you know you can you can manipulate it you can pull things around um you're the boss that's what we always say you're the boss of that whoa so i'm giving her kind of like a crazy fro kind of look mostly because i don't want her hair hanging down because um because her weight i want to see her wings but if you wanted a longer hair you would you know you would orient them orient them down oh i love the orange on there oh what you do you tried i i did i love butt bows what's going on with this oh here we go okay some of these are a little shorter which is good it'll she won't get too crazy well she will but that's okay did anybody say anything about the fan getting too loud no they said they couldn't hear it okay good or someone said they can hear it but it wasn't yeah but this is quieter can you use the flowers as samples in the beginning i don't know what that means yeah can you say that a different way and maybe we can like show how to apply it did anybody see cruella i really want to see cruella i love emma thompson and emma stone and the concept of the movie looks good too it's like i don't know if it's in theaters um it's expensive on it's like still at like 30 or whatever i'll just wait for it to i mean if my whole family were watching but the boys don't want to watch that there's a lot of love for her hair i mean this is the this is the really fun aspect that everybody should enjoy the freedom of it be aware of your hairline you know try to make a somewhat realistic hairline we have someone who loved cruella we have someone who felt as though it was very campy interesting interesting another person who said it was really good like they didn't hit quite the right tone maybe i feel like i need a couple of like sweet little locks towards the front here got a lot of frizzy stuff going on oh oh my gosh you are adorable yeah i love her wings august 27th perella will be free okay well streaming somewhere okay oh she's got it she's got a little she's got a little bald spot yes thank you oh no wonder these locks were in the weird locks pile i mean they're okay i hear music like someone's having a party out there well it could be oh i do like her hair i do like the orange let me attempt this little sleeve idea actually you know it would be cute too you can take something like this or velvet or anything and you can just you know sew a little pleat and then you can put you could put a little pleat somewhere you know that's what i would have guessed judy's question was can you show how to use the flower as a skirt okay sure sure and we might want to get john too because okay so i'm just gonna roll this up since it has a raw edge this is not going to be pretty um someone who sews might need to shut their eyes and i don't really know if it's gonna work no that's not quite right anyway so i am free um i will just stab this detail more to get that pucker better but she could have i mean she could have a nice little she could she could she could all right i don't know if i'm going to leave that or not but i'm gonna put that there okay so there's my sprite she needs a little more she needs a little more love i don't think she needs a skirt i love her profile like i just love that i love her belly i got to get this better um yeah a little bit more i can do to to tighten her up and neaten her up okay skirts um yeah you just you just make a hole you can just make a whole i don't know if i have one that i can stick put a skirt on her um start small or a little x maybe that way you're not cutting away fiber in case it is too big and if you want like a nice tighter and then you just shove her into her clothes then you decide if you want it down or up is she coming out of the flower is she wearing it as a skirt and then you just felt you felt i put i had fun putting um like little locks since hers is going up i put little locks around it but you could just felt if it's going down i mean she didn't even she doesn't even need it um yeah this one was so small i had to cut the side and actually put it around her waist and then just kind of try to felt it back around together will you make me big again i'm gonna watch i wish we could have like a people like how you said just shove her in there i said just shove her in there um i wish we could have a felt on earth these would be good good felt on earth project oh sticking my head in the in the thing so this was fun it was fun for me i hope it was fun for you we after coming off of filming the hounds in which i'm very um very aware of doing it well and conveying every possible um you know step and technique um this was a little bit more this is a little lighter it's brighter lighter for me and a lot of fun does anybody have any questions oh what's going on with my hair that's the question that in about 15 seconds someone will have questions oh we got to give it some time i'm just gonna take my toys home and play with them look what i made yeah they're sisters i'm gonna push you down the steps okay did you get pushed down the steps five siblings or did you do the pushing john's not going to answer that no not on youtube i think i think every sibling stopped both right i had a kitchen sponge shoved down my pants once honestly i was so young enough yeah that you were removing i avoided a lot of the sibling torture i feel like i was a little bit more uh like i signed my brother's email up for like a thousand newsletters oh the technology abuse wasn't even available to us oh my gosh we got oh my gosh we did i got tickled a lot this is where my fight comes from i think that's so funny we had food fights beth and i had so many food fights oh my gosh like your house yes once choosing a banana and i just walked by and shoved her hand in her face and then she grabbed that and she like smooshed it into my arm here and by the time we were done this banana was like thinly spread over the entire kitchen and attend each other oh my goodness you have a little pent up little penta base going on i know a little penta custard doesn't have anything to do with sprites oh they were sisters that's why yeah four brothers trisha had a lot of farting yes anyone who needs to watch any part of this again when we stop it it pretty much publishes it's available very quickly yeah but it should be there a few minutes um yeah oh my gosh can't wait to see them so have fun with it use you know the that they inspired the fiber fairy the firebird fairy inspired them but um you know have fun using your stash and little bits of things that you've been saving and use your imagination that's what a project like this is about so what more sibling stories people hit each other with a wedge oh yeah yeah this towel snap i heard a lot of stop hitting yourself i don't know why i fell for that all the time yeah got that i got a lot of that you're hitting yourself yep oh it's funny sprites would be mischievous to each other i can see that i feel like you and your sisters were just it's great
