6. Holy crap! That is astoundingly beautiful! I wonder if I'd ever have the patience to learn this.

Does anyone here do needle felting?

7. I've seen needle felting pieces

This is to those like Michelangelo's work is to finger painting.

If you read the LOL Cat Sunday threads, some of the owls are probably needle felting.

This place sells kits for the typical beginner needle felting projects: https://www.feltify.com/

If you search for images for needle felting you'll everything from very basic to other works of art - foxes seem to be a favorite and there are some amazing Tasmanian devils!
