My name is Vicky and I am a needle felt artist from the North East of England. I first started needle felting at the end of 2021. I had seen a few needle felting videos on social media and remembered someone mentioning in passing that it was an easy craft to learn so I ordered myself a cheap starter kit online. The first thing I made was a fairly rubbish bumble bee (so rubbish that I never bothered to give him wings) but from that moment on I was hooked. I quickly moved on to making fluffy versions of my guinea pigs, Ethel and Maude, which were a hit as soon as I posted them online and I quickly started getting requests from guinea pig owners to recreate their own furry potatoes in wool. One thing I struggled to find amongst the needle felting tutorials, YouTube channels and books was any instruction on how to create clothes and accessories for my felted characters so I set about figuring out my own designs and this inspired me to write my first book, "Needle Felted Accessories".I hope to continue making adorable woolly characters and sharing my techniques with other lovers of this fantastic craft.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
