Gaudy's Good presents:

Fuzzyfooted Felties created by Gael Antognini

 

Needle Felting is soft sculpting wool fiber with a very long, sharp, barbed needle.

You carefully jab this very sharp, barbed needle into roving wool and that action binds the fibers together.

Depending upon how much you jab...the fibers become harder and harder until they are transformed to felt.

This is a very addicting craft!

The possibilities are endless!

I am currently taking orders. I can create a special One of a Kind (OOAK) soft sculpture of your favorite animal...I can even create one of your pet from photographs.

Email me for additional information on availability and pricing.

My very first needle felt project.

I first bought a kit and changed the image to create the bunny...it was enough to get hooked!
The coin purse was pre-made and I needle felted the bunny right onto the purse.

"Jerimiah" created 2/2008

Private Collection

Now that I am thoughly posessed by the needle felting gods... I wanted to see if I could create a needle felted dog...watch the little slide show to witness a wade of wool turn into a miniature dog!
