- Recorded LIVE on 01-16-19, this episode covers a few options for how to hang, mount and frame your 2D Felt Artwork and other fiber art. **Catch us live Wednsdays @ 2pm on www. livingfelt
Oh the live show -- speaking not from a script, it is easy to miss a few points...but this broadcast covers a range of ideas for presenting your fiber art and felt works beyond hanging them from a wooden dowel. We hope you will find it useful and that it inspires ideas for displaying and exhibiting your pieces.
Using some easy to find tools and off the shelf solutions, we look at tips for displaying your fiber art in an embroidery hoop, how to display under glass, including doing this yourself or having it professionally framed, and how to mount your fiber art on canvas.
We also look at a few ways to put your business card, name or tag on your piece.

This has been so helpful to me! thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You are such a bright, wonderful person. I adore all of your videos❤️
Once again a great video. Very informative 😊👍🏻 Looking forward to next weeks video.
Thank you so much! Anna Repke is coming to teach an in person workshop...and we are glad to have some facetime, Q&A time with her for our live show :)
Hello from Cornwall England, love your inspirational tips just what I needed .....I use a lot of repurposed frames, canvasses wool blankets for my bases. Keep up the good work....xx
Thank you so kindly, Jude! Your feedback means a lot :)
Honestly you rock! So valuable to know about how to mount and display to finish up the creation.
Thank you so much, Yvonne! Glad you found it helpful :)
Thanks so much for these tips. I wouldn't have realized how much the thicker canvas would add to the value of the piece. I'm working on a piece that will be in a gallery so this is very important to me. Thanks again!
I haven't started creating my pieces because I needed to understand mounting. You covered so many different options in this one video, thanks. I now know my options and can get to work on a few projects I have been planning for a while now.
Hi to you all, from Jan Lohrman in the cherry capital of Young NSW, Australia. I have been needle and wet felting for about 6 months now and I love love making your dolls and I have been making life size cats but having trouble with the correct head size. They tend to be too small.
Cheers from Jan in Australia. 😎
Thank you for your nice note, Janet. We would love to see your dolls shared in our fb group :)
This Wooly Wednesday inspires me to make more 2D needle felted art! Such great tips for mounting that I hadn't even thought of.
Sending you a sincere thank you for this info! I've been contemplating how to hang my works and the canvas idea is just what I needed. I knit and felt and embellish bags, and I'm expanding into tapestries this year. Oh, I love the piece with the little houses.
Thank you so much, Bev! We are happy to hear it is helpful and wish you all the best in hanging and mounting your work!
thank you so much for this video! it answered a lot of questions and things I wasn't sure about! :)
We are so happy to hear that, Denise! Thank you for the nice note :)
I started felting last fall, inspired by animal eyes! I decided to try to felt directly in a canvas and it worked! I live in VA!
I live in tropical Australia and occasionally put drops of lavender on my wool art , insects don't like it
Love the piece mounted to a canvas, stunning presentation!
Thank you SO much for this video! I was looking for instructions today and - of course! - you have a video. :)
Just finishing up my first piece with MC-1 on your wool felt and this is the next step.....Thanks!
Your rug is gorgeous!
Right? I am just over the moon with it! What a kind and generous gift :)
I have been watching your videos I found you on youtube. I am a beginner and I am following the doll making video series. I hope to send you a picture when I am done.
Thank you so much for watching, Di, and we will be very happy to see your doll when you make it!
Hi from Franklin Nc
Great video. How to attach to rustic branch?
Thanks so much, Mary. If you want to hang a piece from wood or branch, you can sew/stitch along top to distribute weight and minimize tug. You can also create hanging loops within the piece, or add them after.
@serendipidus1 nice!
Wonderful episode. I was watching because I just finished my rabbit and he needs to be mounted/displayed etc. But all of these shown are flat and I made him 2D but thick and now I don't know how to mount him.. Could you help?
Hi from Lakeville, MN
I've watched this one many times. I guess I'm hypnotized. OH OH OH PLEASE EVENTUALLY LET ME WIN SOMETHING ONE DAY. 🙏 Sorry about big letters I just want dive into a project. 🤗🤷 I'd be able to say I started with y'all 😀 I'm very interested in doing a picture.🧐😉😁
Hi, do you have a tutorial on the night scene with houses? Im im love with that!!!
Hi Sara, thank you for your feedback ♡. We have received a number of requests for that one and we will make a tutorial or demo it on Wooly Wednesday :)
@@LivingFelt super! Cant wait! Thank you so much! X
Hi Sara! Hope you caught our WW this week, the background night scene with cluster houses aired 02/13 and is here:

Thank you so much.
I hand embroider my textile art and it needs to be stitched through two layers of fabric. I'm finding that the corners are too thick when stretching the piece over canvas. Any ideas? I know you mainly talk about felt but I'm really struggling with it. Thanks.
HI Alison, We have experienced the same on thick felts, and completely understand. It sounds like you want it outside of glass...
Have you considered sewing on a border and mounting it flat ... such as on a painted canvas, fabric covered canvas or other base of your choice.? You can back it with a very stiff interfacing to keep it smooth and uniform.
@@LivingFelt yes I think a canvas would be lovely but the dense stitching has to be stretched and laced at the back and interfacing would probably not be enough to keep it under tension and if I lace it at the back of the canvas I wouldn't have anywhere to attach hanging fittings ☹ oh well, I'll keep wrecking my brains 😊 Thank you for your ideas though and thank you for a great video! Very friendly and talented!!
I'm not sure I get it but I don't want to hassle you for a video. Maybe I could ask other members of my family. They might get it!
Oh! I get it! Thank you, yes I'll try that (the cushion example helped..sorry I didnt get it earlier...I'm getting tired I think!)😂

Hi, Im Betsy from Cincinnati Ohio. I have a question I am hoping you will answer. How do yousign dry needle felted art work?
Some people needle felt initials, one friend signs with machine stitching, others put a label on the back.
What kind of wool is that gorgeous rug made of? It’s really lovely!
Isn't it lovely? Llama and Suri Alpaca. You can pet it the next time you come in for a visit -- hee hee :)
Will any of these techniques discolor the wool after aging?
