Have a go: needle felting

i've recently had a go at needle felting to make a small gift for my daughter's best friend - it cost very little to buy what i needed - the rather scary needle, a pad and the 'wool roving',  i had to give it a go because i was so inspired by this artist's truly wonderful canine creations - my technique needs a heck of a lot more practice buy she's still rather cute don't you think? may, my daughter made her bed.
