Inspired by the Scottish countryside and a worldwide palette of woodlands, wildlife and open skies, all 12 delightful projects reflect the rich textures and colours of nature. You’ll find everything from autumn leaves to woodland animals, with each design capturing a little piece of outdoor beauty to place inside your home.

  • It’s easy to get started: whether you are a complete beginner, or just looking for artistic inspiration, needle felting is an easy, enjoyable craft. Everything you need to get started is covered in the book: from key tools and essential techniques, to framing and displaying your finished pieces.
