My first attempt at 3D needle felting

Meet Isiah the incredible 4 gram bear. I was a little impatient and instead of waiting until I went into town to get some beads for his eyes, I embroidered them in and one's slightly higher than the other. He's thread jointed so his limbs and head move. I might try a dog next.

Needle felting is incredibly therapeutic and stress relieving as you basically stab at wool with a barbed needle until something springs to life. It's all fun and games until you stab your finger accidentally.

Oh he's lovely! I really fancy having a go at needle felting.

Thanks! It's great fun and I'd heartily recommend giving it a go. I bought the kit about 3 years ago to do a present for my mum (a mother's day card with a portrait of the TM done mostly with his own fur) and didn't touch it after that. Hang on and I'll see if I can root a photo of it out.

It looks a bit better in real life. I should have really practised rather than doing it on the last minute and rushing it.

Fantastic I am very impressed ...

Amazing! Well done you

Fantastic! Really great first go

awww that's brilliant I love it Lots of people seem to be doing it, I never knew how it was done until I saw it on Kirsty's handmade show. All that needle stabbing looks fun too
Well done

That's so cute

Oh, I love it!

I love your bear
