Felt Needle Inspiration/Artist(s)

I have never heard of using felt needle before. Well, last year, I saw a student working on it, but I had no idea what it was. When I saw last year's syllabus/schdeule at the beginning of the year, felt needle sounded interesting, so I searched it up on youtube. Youtube showed me may different examples of felt needling. You can insert felt onto 2d surfaces. You can also make 3d objects with felt too. I saw Youtubers making animals, flowers, and even mushrooms out of felt! I found it very interesting and wanted to make it one of my projects.

So yes, I got most my inspiration for this project from Youtube.






Mr. X Stitch
There is a group of people that makes up "Mr. X Stitch". That group of people come from many different parts of the world. They work with needles and produce high quality hand stitched, machine stitched, and needle felting works. Regarding their needle felting, they make a lot of fantasy pieces. For example, they created a hybrid of a pig and a unicorn. I have never seen anything like that. They also created a number of adorable dragons. Other fantasy pieces they created would include human mushrooms and tree elves. Those fantasy works are really interesting and unlike any I have seen. Their hybrid animals partly inspired me to want to make felt animals.
