| Anyone can make cute and cuddly creatures from a handful of fluff and a barbed needle! Needle
felting is a new craft and is gaining in popularity. There are only a
few books written on the subject and most of those focus on 'flat'
needle felting on a surface. This book is about sculptural needle
felting--creating 3-D animals and figures using the felting needle to
sculpt wool. The book shows the techniques and describes how
the felting needle works with wool fiber to create felt, while
explaining the differences between this art form and other forms of
felting. The reader will learn how to hold the needle, what sort of
materials to use, and why. There are about 20 complete projects
including various birds, bugs, four-legged animals, and people--each
one unique and irresistible! Laurie also shows the reader ways to
display their felted creations as mobiles, ornaments, or arranged in
shadow boxes.
