Tutorial: Adding Some UMPF to felting with an Airbrush!

April 7, 2010 by Linda Lanese

Wow! Who would have thunk it?  The felting indie designers on the Internet who else!  You will find a complete pictorial tutorial to follow this fun technique by Chrissy P. from Felted Chicken!  I’m your average-everyday Felter living & working out of Hollywood, CA.  I’ve been needle-felting for about a year and a half now, and am always looking for new, interesting, and easy ways to add some extra UMPF to my sculptures.  Nancy from DABBLED was kind enough to ask me to share a tutorial on one of these processes. In addition to the traditional felting techniques that everybody uses (needle & wet-felting, dying my own wool, accenting with tufts of colored wool)  I also use an Airbrush to add shadows & gradients to my pieces.  I’ve found this to be a super easy & fast way to give my felting that little somethin’-somethin’!!
