Learn how to sculpt wool roving with a barbed felting needle to make three-dimensional figures and animals. Using only wool, a needle, and a foam pad you can create birds, bugs, giraffes, trolls, penguins, and mermaids. No need to cut or wet the wool; just shape and needle it, adding details as you go.
With superb photography and easy to follow instructions, Wool Pets explains the techniques and gives you the tools to make your own freeform figures. Make them into mobiles, ornaments, or fashion accessories. Arrange them in shadowboxes or perch them on dressers and windowsills. These adorable pets are always irresistible.
