Thank you for sharing your artwork, Kaylene, and we hope to see more soon!
This adorable miniature teddy bear- Oscar- was needle felted by Jude Brown of Australia!
Jude has only just started needle felting but you couldn’t tell from looking at Oscar! You could easily make an Oscar yourself using one of our very easy Living Felt Needle Felting A Bear Kit!
Jude says, “Thank you for all the encouraging words… Many more little creatures coming along!” Thank you, Jude, and we expect to see more of those little creatures! 
Look at these lovely needle felted Airedale Terriers by Connie Versagi! They look like they were felted using Living Felt Merino Cross Batt Black and Espresso Bean. Beautiful!
This piece is called “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie” and was put into an online auction to benefit a 10 year old fighting a brain tumor. What a great cause!
This piece is for the same benefit and it has the same terrier chasing a squirrel in a tree. Thank you for sharing, Connie, and we hope to see your next project soon!
This vibrant and life-like undersea picture is a wet and needle felted wall hanging by Lisa Shanor of Casper, Wyoming.
She wet felted the base with a Wet Felting Project Batt, then needle felted the details over it with Livng Felt Merino Cross Batts in a variety of blues, True Olive and Meadow Green. Lisa says, “So much fun, it’s like painting with wool!”
This is a beautiful project and we thank you for sharing it with us, Lisa!
–>if you follow our blog or newsletter, you might recall that Lisa felted the picture of a vase of flowers,
and how wonderful the stems looked in the water…brilliant!
This amazing needle felted elephant was made by Megan Nedds of Ohio! How well she has captured the grace and gentle spirit of these incredibly large animals.
Megan spent a few weeks to needle felt Penelope and used Living Felt Merino Cross Batt Willow and Variety Pack Needles.
Megan says, “I love nature and animals, and I love to try and express this through my art.”
This little needle felted fawn is “Bentley”. He was made by needle felting over a wire armature with wool used from the Living Felt Earth Tones pack of MC-1 felting wool. We think she did a fantastic job expressing her love of animals!
If you would like to see more of Megan’s amazing work, visit her Etsy Shop!
Look at this beautiful felted picture from Jacqueline Kennedy-Green of Alberta, Canada!
She has truly captured that traditional African sunset we have all come to recognize in imagery of what is a far off land for so many of us, yet the addition of the Mama and Baby elephant silhouettes offers a sweet and moving touch.
Jacqueline needle felted this project using Living Felt Merino Cross Batt True Red, White, Lemon Peel, Black Onyx, and Indigo and then finished it with wet felting.
Jacqueline created this amazing piece for a charity fund raiser. We appreciate her wonderful creation and expect to see many more amazing things coming from her!
Look at this beautiful Zebra needle felted by Sue Carey of Vermont!
She needle felted it using Living Felt New Zealand Corriedale Black and the white was used from her very own Cotswold sheep that she raises herself!
Thank you for sharing this amazing creation with us! We hope to see many more soon!
These breathtaking self proclaimed “wool paintings” were wet felted by Pam Bealer of Alaska! This is her precious (late) best friend Gwynlan.
Pam started off weaving and knitting, which lead to a love of all fiber arts, especially felting! This sunset bear she wet felted is something she says she sees a lot in Alaska. Beautiful detail!
This satyr, named Buck, she needle felted to bring in the spring season! He is holding a tiny little earth because, “felting makes the world go ’round!”
It sure does Pam!
This magical creature is an Irish Elk (aka Melagolcero), needle felted by Noemi Smith of California. She was inspired by the ones from the movie The Hobbit! Noemi needle felted his body with Living Felt Core Wool, then needle felted over with a combination of colors that you can find in the Living Felt New Zealand Corriedale Kit Pilgrim’s Harvest. This elk is big too, she says, “almost the size of a Maltese!”
Noemi tells us, “I mainly do figurative Art but my other passion is to needle felt and I love to make animals!!”
Well we love your animal and we hope to see many more!
Last year I shared my wool and yarn basket hung out for birds to line their nests; I repurposed a hanging plant basket that is normally lined with moss. Over time, it got kind of messy and even a bit weathered.
So this year I decided to try my initial impulse, which was to use fishing net and create a little ball of nest goodies for the birds.
It is hanging in the same tree as our bird feeder and bird house (on branches you cannot see) and we are hopeful to provide nice
and cozy nest materials for our bird friends.
I am happy to report that this year in the neighborhood, I found an abandoned nest that had fallen due to winter winds lined with a little tuft of fleece ~ amont other things :=)
