I am a Needle felfting nut
There was no topic I could see for it so I posted a new one : )
You may have seen the Crafts Beautiful demonstration on you tube but if you haven’t it is a technique where you sculpt with wool (unspun) wooltop, using a barbed needle to form the shape desired. You can see examples of my Animals and bears on my Gallery page and commission page in my website
attached is a picture of a recent commission Flynn the Cairn Terrier : )

Wow that is so lovelly, no I never seen that before, so realistic, thank you for showing us julie xx

That is so cool! I think I saw something similar on the Martha Stewart show once.
Not like this though. I love it!

Thats lovely,you are very clever.

Wow, Julie that’s amazing. How clever are you

Wow, that is amazing.  You are so clever!

Thank you for your kind comments, I look forward to seeing your work as I get around the group : )

I have only heard of it recently, and also saw the method as a way of joining felted piece together - such as felt flowers cut with a cuttlebug onto a bag

That dog is fabulous - you are very clever

Love your felted cairn terrier - really original.
Beautifully done.

I love needle felting. Somewhere I have a lovely fluffy woolly sheep. I’ll try and find him to show you! He started off looking like a cloud…

Hi Julie,
What a wonderful little dog. I have got the bits to have a go but have only done wet felt before so am unsure where to start with this.
I look forward to seeing some more of your gorgeous and inspirational felt creations.

O wow that is fab!! i have seen it done they did a dog on the crafts beautiful video’s!!

Thanks again to kind comments, Zheena check out the youtube video it will show you where to start, My cairn terrier is not on a pipecleaner skeleton though. it really is only your imagination that limits what you can do with it, i have seen vases,huge dragons and more.  This is a bear i have on ebay I made his honey pot from polymer clay.

Juliet - they’re amazing! Well done!

That bear is fabulous….did you make him fit with the jar

His snout actually fits into the honey jar, i was tempted to put a picture of him with his snout in there (it made me giggle to see it )If i haven’t deleted it i will put it on later.
