Needle Felting - The WOW Factor

We recently spent some time perusing the Flickr craft pool (as you do), and found this incredible polar bear: Needlefeltedpolarbear

He’s made using needle felting, a process where barbed felting needles are repeatedly pushed into lengths of carded wool to condense the wool into specific shapes. Here’s another stunning example from Flickr: Needlefeltedowl

We so want to learn how to do that! So we are excited to have an upcoming needle felting workshop on the books. When you come to the workshop, you’ll learn how to make this little guy: Needlefeltingbirdworkshop

Isn’t he amazing?

I'm so excited for the workshop. I'm the proud owner of this little lady who was made for me by an excellent needle felter in Finland:
