Fran, these are fabulous!  The mermaid is especially stunning!  Is her tail needle felted?

What beautiful creations your sister makes.  Breathtaking. 

So I need a little education here.....she starts with rovings like we do?
How on earth does she get the long locks to look curly the way they do?
The effect is beautiful

This is what my unicorn's mane and tail were made of.

It's hard to felt, but it's still a natural fibre, so it will felt evenually.

Alot of Doll artists use this stuff.  Of course the auction is just an example, and boy do I have tonnes of the stuff!

Heather, what a superb unicorn!  Love the main...hhhmmmmmmm I might has to play with rovings soon....

Penny...Just look at what you can do with your mohair.  You will do fine with needle felting.  Have patience...you'll be addicted like the rest of us.   NA:  Needle Felters Anonymous! bear_wub
