Fiber Arts Friday – Needlefelting
Quick Announcement: On Black Friday (next week) – we will be having you link your store, Etsy or otherwise, to Fiber Arts Friday. While I love promoting blogs, this will give fiber artists who don’t blog a chance to participate in Fiber Arts Friday, and for us to be able to promote buying handmade for the holidays. Spread the word!
Needle Felting
When I attended the Southeastern Fiber Fair I took a class called “Painting with Wool”. It was awesome! I love the technique, and the results. I’m not much of a 3-D thinker so the “in the round” needlefelting is more difficult for me, plus sticking needles into a flat surface was much safer for me. I tend to prick myself otherwise.
Here are some pictures of what people in our class created:
Want to learn more about wool painting? Check out Pat Spark’s website. Leave a comment with any other good needle-felting and/or wet felting resources you may have.
So what have you been doing this week? Share with us on Fiber Arts Friday.
Fiber Arts Friday Blog Carnival!
To participate:
- Add the permalink to a specific blog post that features something Fiber Art related, rather than your general blog address and not your Etsy store. (Please DO put a link in your blog post that takes us to your store though.)
- Link back to Fiber Arts Friday from your post so that your readers can come and see everyone else’s projects! Use the button or a text link to http://www.alpacafarmgirl.com.
- Visit as many of the other participants as possible and leave comments! That’s what helps us all connect!

That is so cool! Beautiful pieces!
We just got artfelt kits in at my LYS, which is kind of like needle felting, although the finishing process is a little different. I haven’t ventured into needle felting yet – another thing to add to my “must try” list

I’m always in awe of needle-felting, especially in an artistic sense. Some of these look like paintings and that is just amazing!
