Playing and Teaching with Needle Felted Masks. Let's play You know, I like my pieces of art to be useful; save for the specific holiday pieces that will be stored away till next year.
I made these animal masks for Halloween, but they’ll be very useful all year round for imaginative play.

And, it shows how to make all the little accessories... and of course the animals themselves! The instructions are very clear, and this book would be good for a beginner to intermediate felter, and an advanced needle felter could also get inspired by the cute characters. there's a full set of photos on flickr , and the book is in my etsy shop.
