    I love this art form. I have some carpal tunnel and also less than perfect vision. Because of the carpal tunnel I have had to give up stained glass work and have been trying to find a craft that I can do. Do you think this would be less aggravating to the CTS? How did you learn the craft? Are the materials expensive? Your pieces are so cute and I have seen some items on Pinterest that I would love to try. Once a crafter, always a crafter. Great work, and thanks for any input you might have.

    Those are so cute. For some strange reason I get FB feeds from someone who needle felts dogs, all different breeds, and sells or donates them to breed events. No, I guess it's because after your first post on them I google them. Anyway, they are really interesting.

    So cute! I'm particularly fond of the eggs, like little robin's eggs decorated for spring.

    I am not sure how your CTS would handle it but it is not hard, just lots of poking. Repetitive though. Would be cheap to try. I get my stuff through living felt ( they also have tutorials you can watch online)and a needle or 2 and a small amount of wool would not cost a ton. 2 ounces of wool (which goes a long way, runs about 3.50 if it is not something special) Micheal's Craft store here has a little bit of tools and wool also. They have a 2 needle set with foam block for around 22.00. They are heavy beginner needles, less apt to break. I used to do stained glass and had to give it up because of arthritis in the base of my thumbs. This is not too hard for my hands .
