How-To: Card/Tablet Weaving an Intermediate Pattern, with Joan of Feral Forest
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.6 лет назад
This is my second tablet weave, so consider yourself warned: I am not a pro at this. And I'm already 2/3 of the way through this belt, so I'm only showing the active weaving process to give you a basic idea. Once this belt is complete, I'll make another tutorial showing how to make cards and figure out your warp threads, choose and work a pattern, etc. So this is basically a teaser ;) I hope yo...
Felt Slipper Tutorial - Full Length, Thorough DIY Resist & Wet Felting How To w/ Feral Forest
Просмотров 76 тыс.6 лет назад
This is my first pair of felted wool slippers, and I document the process from start to finish. I've made wool boots and shoes before, and plenty of wool bowls/baskets, so I can share expertise while also showing you what it can look like to make felted slippers for the first time. This video is long because it shows the whole process. I didn't want to skip or gloss over steps that you might be...
A Brief Glimpse Of Graining A Deer Hide
Просмотров 2586 лет назад
Because watching things get sped up is fun, hide tanning is often monotonous, and because I can. There will be more helpful videos in the future, but since I just started work on two out of three hides today (eek!), this is what you get first. (Please Note: This is a Raw hide, it has not been bucked, which is why graining it looks rather difficult. Once I get my hands on some ashes I’ll speed t...
Wild Food: Watch this Bladderwrack turn from Dark Green to BRIGHT GREEN!
Просмотров 4646 лет назад
Bladderwrack, also known as popweed, is a common and delicious wild edible here in Southeast Alaska. The young, fresh tips are harvested and can be thrown into stir-fries and plenty of other dishes. When submerged in hot water, it goes from a brownish-green to a very vibrant kelly green. Check it out! See more content like this @ www.FeralForest.com & www.Patreon.com/FeralForest

Cranes Migrate North Through Alaska

A brief, somewhat shaky video showing a flock of several hundred cranes as they passed over the Kuskokwim River in Alaska. (I tried to keep the camera steady, but those birds fly high! My zoom was fully extended. So bear with me!) We watched from outside our cabin, fascinated to hear their overlapping, ululating music and to see them swooping in huge loops as they made their way along the river...

Soft Tanning Domestic Rabbit Fur with Feral Forest
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.7 лет назад
This is a compilation of brief videos showing a domestic rabbit hide going from scraped and dried - to soft tanned. I moisten the hide back up, scrape the membrane layer off the inside, use lard as a tanning agent, and hand soften the hide. Huge thanks to the folks at PaleoPlanet for the advice on wet scraping rather than dry scraping - it made all the difference! Domestic rabbit hides are gene...

    This reminds me of the process for getting the perfect Levi 501 jeans: Back in the 70's one would buy a pair of those extremely stiff not pre-washed jeans just a little larger than you would normally buy, 1 size larger. Then put a worn-out towel on the bathroom floor, then put on the stiff pair of Levi jeans and wear them in the bathtub of very warm water so they'd form to the individual's body. Climb out of the tub letting the dye get only on the towel. Take the jeans off (not easy to do soaking wet but possible) then bring them outside to dry. Your lower body and legs will be blue so you'll need a shower to get the dye off. Once the jeans are dry wear them again for a day or 2 (2 is better). They'll still be somewhat stiff but relatively tolerable. Then you can wash them alone or with other blue items in a washing machine with cold water. Tumble dry. You can machine wash from now on for decades and they'll continue to fit perfectly - depending on how many cookies, cakes etc one consumes of course. :D

    @louiseemerson7844 2 года назад

    I felt so sad for you that after all that work and effort the slippers were too loose and the heel was not high enough or structured enough to keep the slipper on the foot. I think the design step is overlooked albeit the felting being very well explained. You really need a good design /pattern at the beginning otherwise it’s a lot of effort for something that is unwearable

    @fumbelina1 3 года назад

    I’m an experienced felter and my techniques and equipment come from decades of study and practice. I wanted to commend you for a quite thorough and immediately useful introduction to wet felting and particularly that you did it with so few of the gadgets that I have become accustomed to such as my special watering tool, my favourite resist, netting etc. And washboard, oh and my weigh scales, yep I am one of those 😏. Anyway, a very nice job and a reminder that pretty much hands and soap and wool (and sometimes no resist) are all that you really need to make serviceable clothing. These kinds of tutorials were not available when I began felting before the internet but most are not as useful to beginners as yours is. Cheers!

  • @JesMarie_W3

    I am just learning. When you say (in reference to the white wool) "Bat" do you mean that is wool batting? I'm just wondering if I can felt wool batting normally for quilt making and such. Thanks so much in advance!

    • @ferallion
      @ferallion 3 года назад

      Hi! So the term 'batt' refers to wool that has been carded into a long flat fluff pile so that all the fibers are aligned in the same direction. I made my own batts with raw wool on a drum carder. Wool batting for quilts will likely work if it's 100% wool and as long as it's not a "super-wash" variety of wool, as those don't felt as easily. You can also use wool that hasn't been carded, but it takes a Lot more time to pick the locks of wool apart and fluff them up and then lay them down in an orderly fashion for all the layers of your shoes.
