He is absolutely fabulous, don't know the first thing about needle felting but you have obviously got a real talent. Thanks for showing us all, you must feel mighty proud of him

....Thankyou to everyone for your positive replies

-some projects work better than others and Fergus seems to have been one that appeals well!!

--- I have had no instuction on how to "needle felt" only what I have seen off "the web".

It is easy to do .......and you can make virtually anything -- I reckon a pig would be fairly straight forward!

.... go on try it! I`m sure you will be surprised at what you can do .

looking forward to see other needle felting projects on here.....

Tilly,
I think he is really lovely. You have definitely got a talent there.

I have recently started doing some needle felting after seeing Kirstie doing it on the TV last week. Mine is very simple stuff though, nothing like yours. I am just using felt as the base and basically felting another bit of felt on top of that. What base do you use?

Hi Bionic

Hope your project is coming together....it does not matter what you do as long as you enjoy doing it!

.
The base is exactly the same as what you see on the top- all just solid wool!

When I first started the needlefelting ......I found it difficult to conceive

how" plain fluffy fleece" can be transformed into a solid mass by stabbing it with a needle! and even more amazing and almost magical ,from that point how the dense solid mass of wool can then be moulded into a form e.g--

-but some how it just works...
