I have just started an online felting course with Jackie Cardy - see her blog at dogdaisychains.blogsot.co.uk. Although I have done some wet felting before, I have never been particularly happy with the results so I am hoping to pick up some good tips. Jackie is posting some videos - about two per week I think. The first two were very clear and really inspired me to get going. Following Jackie's instructions was certainly less messy and more successful than my previous attempts at wet felting!
Here are my first two pieces - no stitching yet , just basic felt. The stitching videos come later!
The first one is based on pictures from my garden
