| Introduction | After a dozen years of designing & creating Award-winning miniature teddies, I discovered Needle Felting in 2000, a fascinating textile art form which allows more freedom to create as one works, rather than having to have designed the entire creation before the scissors even touch the fabric.© This allows change—moment-to-moment—something which is impossible in sewn designs and completely Serendipitous and MAGICAL in Needle Felting! In over 50 years of working in every type of textile art format, this gives me the very best platform for expression and combining several different techniques into one object, as in the Viking Knitting, Jewelry design and Needle Felting - Polar Bear Necklace.
