Needle-Felted Desert


A few weeks ago I went to a workshop on machine needle felting, also known as needle-punching or embellishing. I have the Janome needle felting machine. Unlike a sewing machine there is no thread but several barbed needles which mesh the fabric together to create a felt. You can see it demonstrated in this video.



I've finally finished the piece by adding free motion stitching using rayon threads. Here are some close ups.
