Needle felting

This was one of the most curious project. It went like this:

8PM - I was in a bar with my friends. One of them told me that she had taken up needle felting. I asked her what needle felting was. She and other people at the table described it at their best and I could not imagine what felting with a needle was like.

10PM - The said friend invite us over so that we could try needle felting.

11:30PM I couldn't quite get the hang of it and I thought it was rather strange activity. I was ready to go to bed and my friend insisted that I take her kit and wool so that I could finish the project.

8AM the next morning. I try again and, maybe because this particular activity is best done sober, I felt that I had better control of the shape.

A few hours of poking later, this is what I got: 









It was a bit like clay modeling. I could modify the shape as I went along, so I didn't need to plan ahead. It is definitely a project I could do again.
