It's much easier for beginners than freehand :)

Thank you so much, Penolopy!

That's a really good question. Not sure I have a good answer lol. Maybe because you're going from silk to silk? I honestly don't know.

I used acid dyes for this yarn so yes, it is colorfast. You only need a mordant with some natural dyes. I have a bunch of tutorial on various dyeing techniques at my site, if you're interested. http://www.fiberartsy.com/category/fiber-felting/dyeing-fiber-felting/

Yes, absolutely you can use too much dye. It's always best to start with less dye and add more as you need it. You might try dyeing with kool aid or Easter Egg dyes first to give you an idea.

Thanks!

Thanks Kaz!

That's awesome!

Thanks!

Cool idea!

I haven't tried regular soap so I don't really know how regular soap melts. Couldn't hurt to try, though.

This soap was especially made to melt and pour. I'm not sure how regular soap would work.

Thanks Penolopy!

Hey Charlene, Since the masks are already felted, you should be able to wipe them with a soft cloth and some mild soap.

More than you probably want to make lol! Seriously, these inks go a long way.

Thank you!

Good question. The plastic ones got dinged over time but the bamboo needles kept the color pretty well.

Thanks. It was a fun project :)

Yes!

Thank you :)

Awesome! My friends ask me for this every year.

After the ink has dried (overnight or so), spray it with clear acrylic sealer to keep it from smudging.

Thanks!

Let me know how they turn out :)

Thank you :)

Thanks Jessy! I found them at Michaels but you can also order them online.

Ooh, I'll have to try that Paulo. Thanks

Fun! I'll have to try that.

Hi Lydia, I found mine at Goodwill for $1.50. Admittedly, I cringed a little when I cut them up. I tried to pick ugly ties :)

I'm not sure what an acid house is

Interesting idea!

Thanks

Cool! The lights of the fish tank would give it a nice effect.
