This is my latest needle felted critter Tilby the globetrotter. Tilby is an order from my boss after he saw my bear on a bauble. I'm very pleased with him although I think next time I make a cat I'll stick to him sitting on a ball, or a ball of yarn, as a globe freehand was not the easiest.

Sorry the photo is not 100% but I only finished him last night and he has to go to his new home today and the weather at the moment it not photo weather.

Merry Christmas
Mel

KIMBERLY!!!!! why cant you? Have you tried? The more you do it the better you get. AND it doesnt take anytime at all to learn. AND if you make a balls up. Just wait till you have gained more skill and then fix it up!!!!!
EASY PEASY.

GO ON GIVE IT a GO!!!!! bear_grin Matilda

Hi Matilda,

No, never tried... :redface:

I don't even know where to get started!! bear_tongue All I know is that you all use wool and you use a special needle with barbs on it... I don't even know where to get that kind of stuff.... hee hee
