I recently discovered the art of needle felting and have fallen head over heels for it. Back in March, a writer friend had posted some pics on twitter of her friend's needle felt creations. I was gobsmacked by how beautiful they were, but it looked like an art form that would take years to learn. About two months ago, I found a tutorial online for needle felting mice. I tried it and was hooked. So far I've made two mice from the tutorial, and from my own designs I've made another mouse, a small owl, a Cornish pixie (from Harry Potter stories), a 2D portrait of my old border collie, and a 3D portrait of a friend's labradoodle. (I don't know why the dog pic is sideways!)
