A Masterclass in Needle Felting Wildlife

The art of needle felting can produce hyper-realistic, almost taxidermic results. With a little know-how, some needles, wool, and a few inexpensive accessories, you can learn to needle felt like a professional.

Covering four popular and well-loved wild animals (Hare, Fox, Badger and Otter), with illustrated step-by-step instructions, Cindy guides you through the process of creating different body shapes, proportions, armatures, coats, and blending, as well as realistic finishing touches such as eyes, nails, ears and detailing. Learn how to achieve a professional finish you will be proud of with different textured coats; how to blend, clip and add shape, and apply a realistic finishing touch with a variety of mediums and methods, some of which Cindy has designed and developed herself. From the author of the best-selling book A Masterclass in Needle Felting Dogs, this follow-up volume will teach you new techniques, and inspire you to try exciting creations of your own!
