Hi, I'm Kay Petal and sculptural needle felting is my thing! I create crazy dolls out of un-spun wool using single, barbed felting needles. I'm especially fond of making wool look like celebrities. I'm my own biggest collector and pretty much hoard my dolls; I have many.
And as much as I love needle felting, I love teaching needle felting and have recently released needle felting workshops on DVD. They are available on my website.
I'm from Alaska but am enjoying life so much right now bumming around in our 35 foot RV. We are drifting throughout the US and Canada spreading the love of needle felting from coast to coast. I share my adventures on my travel blog www.feltalive.blogspot.com
