A Collection of Wet Felting Texture Tutorials

Pam de Groot – Texture Goddess! Using Tons of Prefelts for a Collage Effect

Pam is known for her amazing textures. I love how she makes a collage using prefelts, silks and more.

What great texture. In the comments of this video, a woman used paper towels from Ikea for a similar effect. She also mentioned that it could be painted. I LOVE that idea.
