for those who have never head about needle felting the theory behind needle felting is by pushing and pulling the needle into the felt and loose fibers you cause the fibers to be interlocked or mixed.http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/31-Dec-2007/88427-flt_ndl_sm.JPG

You can buy needle feling machines similar to sewing machines or do it by hand.I do it by hand but I am looking at an attachment for my singer sewing machine. I manipulate felt, fabric, yarn, thread, fiber, and vintage embellishments to create unique handmade art-objects.
I am in the process of putting together a website of my work www.dalhiasgallery.com (http://www.dalhiasgallery.com).
