Hey, I’m Fauna Rasmussen! I’m a stop-motion animator and I’m working on a short film taking place in the late Pleistocene / Early Holocene. If you like Prehistoric animals (especially mammals), or even just wildlife in general maybe you’ll like my project! I’m still trying to find an audience so fingers crossed this helps. If you’re interested in seeing more you can follow me on Reddit, Youtube, Instagram, Tiktok, or Pinterest. (:
Our traveling gnome ... We call him Phil.
I run a small group oriented at teens and young adults, many of whom have expressed interest in learning some kind of fabric art. I'm seeing that needlefelting might be a good option.
-Would you say this is a good choice for people new to textiles?
-our meetings are 2 hours. could they realistically make like a small thing in this time, or is this like a "spend multiple dedicated days per object" kinda craft?
-Are there any good kits that will have enough felt and needles for like 6-8 people, or should I buy stuff separately?
Thanks!
I'm a begginner in this. I want to get into needle felting on smooth canvas first and looking for some inspirations. just wondering what type of designs everyone enjoys doing when it comes to flat surface needle felting.
I crocheted the scarf 🧣 🥰
I want to felt on top of a shirt, but it's got some vinyl(?) print on it. The kind that cracks when it gets old. I'm worried about the needles. Can I poke it, or should I try to remove the print before poking, or try another method of altering the shirt entirely instead of needle felting? Thanks!
Seriously what an incredible skill!

Stainless steel chainmaille ball that I wove around a wool felted ball that I made. Pretty proud of this and the wool center is the perfect weight and density for a contact juggling ball.
When I went into the local fiber store to pick up some roving and a 5-needle tool (don't know what it is called) the lady said this was an absolute first. She had never seen someone wrap chainmaille around a wool ball! This is going to be the first of many. Now to make smaller ones for ornaments.
not my neatest/best work but I do love how he came out!
