Info Article 1 - Needle Felting Basics and Tutorials for Sharing

Thanks to the wonderful spirit of sharing, we can find a lot of useful tutorials on needle felting on the internet.  This will save beginners a lot of money as we can choose not to buy expensive pre-packaged kits.  However, it may take longer to learn the techniques on one's own.  Depending on your learning preference and style, the fun of exploring can sometimes be more rewarding to certain people, me included.

Here are some links on needle felting that I'd like to share with you.

I watched this video three times when I first started felting.  I love the comment that needle felting probably has saved some marriages ;o)

Be careful, felting needles are very sharp.  Beware also, needle felting can become very addictive...
