Hello Everyone,
Well, I broke down and bought a needlefelting kit. It took me 3 days to make this fella. This is Lenard and his teddy mouse Snooky. What do you think for my first try?
Any words of wisdom on needlefelting?
Hugs,
Julie

q.D.paToOtieSHe's awesome! Great job - I can't believe that was your first try!!!
OH MY , Julie that is incredible !!!! I think you have a natural talent for felting. You must be thrilled to bits with the outcome. Sheesh, I can't wait to see what you make next if your first attempt is this amazing. Way to go ! :clap:
Posts: 535WOW... thanks everyone!! I believe I'm hooked!!! I only pricked my finger about 1/2 a dozen times and broke one needle. Now my daughter wants me to make her a frog.
If I knew this was this much fun... I would have started sooner.
Hugs,
Julie
aerBearsWow, I am impressed. Great job on your first needle felting adventure!!! I love how his feet match the Snooky's nose.
:clap:

Teddies to TreasureGreat job Julie-Now you can make a calendar of all your own creations-or will you be giving up photography? 
That is amazing work! :clap: Sincerely Jane D.
Posts: 535Thanks Aeri and Jane!
I have no plan on giving up on my photography! Needlefelting will be my other craft away from my photography. I can needlefelt in front of the TV where I cannot take photos with a TV around - way too distracting!! :crackup:
Hugs,
Julie

Posts: 535Thank you all!! I am thrilled that you think my creation is good! I hope to get better and better at it! I was proud to be apart of TT for my photos of the bears, but I now feel like I really belong. Thanks everyone. So I guess now I'll have to be know as the teddy bear photographer that also dabbles into the needlefelting from time to time.
Big Hugs,
Julie
Wazza Bears AustraliaHes great I love him
Bears by EdieSo cute, Julie! You did a fantastic job! Yes, I can see you're going to be hooked from now on!
Posts: 62Well Julie I just thin theyre magnificent for your first effort too, Needlefelting is a bit of an addiction isnt it, and dont those needles hurt like hell when they jab you? Ouch!! (thats not what i really said by the way)!!!
I just discovered neddlefelting too , its potential for fibre design is just out there isnt it? Congratulations Julie, and we really look forward your next wonderful projects I think Leonard the lion has the most expressive face.
:hug: 
FenBeary FolkJulie, I never thought that you didn't belong, to have a resident bear artist photographer is fantastic. :hug: I am sure most of us newbies aspire to have our bears on your cards.
I have only had a brief go at needlefelting and my first atempt was a bit amateurish, yours on the other hand look very professional, certainly as good if not better than most that I have seen 
DoodlebearsVery cute, I must say! Keep up with the good work. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Hugs Jane.
Yorkshirewow that fantastic 
I would love to have a go ............ just need some more time!!!!
Hugs Ali x
WOW Julie - you have done a fantastic job. Are you sure you haven't been holding out on us - are you a closet needlefelter????????? :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:
Past Time BearsGreat work, Julie . . . especially for your first time! I don't needlefelt, so I am in awe of people who do! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Posts: 535The response and comments from all of you are very encouraging! Thank you to everyone who stopped by to have a look at my first needlefelt creation. My daughter has her heart set on a frog next, so I guess I should try my luck at a green fella!
I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada - where is a good place to purchase wool?
Big Hugs,
Julie
Wow! That's wonderful - really 1st time? I've got all the stuff and book but haven't had a go, but can't imagine coming up with anything like that - weird shapeless lump with blood on it's paws is what I envisage!! Well done you anyway - shall look out for more creations.
