Materials List

38 gauge felting needles

Sturdy foam or wool pad

Core wool or natural roving

Fleshtone colorway

Light blue-grey wool for wings

Wool in a color palette for dress and shoes

Each of the proceeding videos includes step by step instructions that walk you through each stage of forming and assembling a needle felted fairy figurine. I am working on a Sun Fairy, one of the two main characters in the book currently underway. Thanks to our community of needle felting artists, the lessons include just a bit of light banter that captures where we are in our lives at this point in time. This lesson was recorded on July 27, 2021.
