Needle Felting : Little Bear

So....what is Needle Felting? Needle felting is a process which uses barbed needles to interlock wool fibers to form a more condensed material ..... blah blah ... basically stabbing wool with a special needle ... that's some of the info I found on Google. So basically what got me to Google about Needle Felting was these cute little bugger~

What a cutie

Love & a Sandwich is one of the inspiring artists that I follow online, and also the reason why I started trying my hand on making my own dolls. So I was browsing Facebook in the morning, a daily routine, when i stumble upon an update from L&AS with a photo of this curious little thing she's working on.

A cute monster forming!

First reaction? "That is sooooooo adorable!!!" So after an hour or so of digging Google and watching YouTube then I stumble upon NekoMeow ! A local Needle Felting Artist! And man are her creations ADORABLE!!! 

Just look at that adorable kitty cat~!!

So I almost immediately ordered a starter kit from her blog, I mean, how hard can Needle Felting be? It looks fun~

Kinda reminds me of sack boy

Didn't take very long to finish and it was fun, manage to stab my fingers maybe less than 20 times and drew blood once. But I am definitely planning to buy more wool and try to create my own cute little minions! Next project? I'm thinking maybe some iPhone pouches or amigurumi bears....hmmmmm
