Description EDIT: I'm now taking orders on these guys! Check my latest journal for details

Yeah, I needle felt! I just started a few months ago, and it's so much fun. There's still a ton I need to learn, though. Anyway, this is a tiny, simplified snowy owl I made for my mom. At the base it is about the size of a quarter. It is made of wool with pen for the spots, and took probably a half hour or so to make.

I would love your opinions because I am thinking of starting a small business to sell my stuff :]

Aww, thank you so much!!
Needle felting is a really weird process (I suggest looking it up on YouTube because what I'm about to say may not make sense until you see it lol). You take unspun wool (the same stuff that yarn is made of), roughly form it with your hands, and then stab it hundreds (sometimes thousands) of times with a special needle. This weaves the fibers together and makes it take shape. It's really simple and really fun!

wow that sounds amazing!! Well, I'd love to purchase one when you sell them.
Gosh I wish I had time to try out everything craft related! haha! But I got a lampwork glass kit for Christmas ( I only just got back from holidays so I'm yet to try it!) So I will have to see how I go with that first before I try anything else! haha.

Yes, that would be awesome! I still need to figure out pricing, shipping, and getting my own website, though, lol.
