Needle Felting artist

I know it's the cesspit of the media world, but the Daily Mail had an article about a needle felting artist today.
Of course, in true DM fashion they managed to not mention 'needle felting' even once

Her needle felting creations are stunning, awesome art work.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful article about the dog needle-felter. Truly awesome work! What an obvious opportunity for the newspaper to introduce needle-felting to folks, with an informative sidebar, a couple photos of equipment used, etc.

I had to look really hard at the white dog with the green collar, sitting on a windowsill, as at first I thought it was a real dog!

They were all very realistic. They make really nice pet memorials.

Very realistic.

It took me a while to work out which were needlefelted too

Fabulous work. So lifelike and so like the live dog. I did think it was funny that they say she uses wool and real animal hair. Is wool fake animal hair? LOL

Ha, I wonder if it's the actual 'hair of the dog' so to speak.

I made a pillow out of a ladies dog hair. She collected the hair from its' hair cuts. De had been dead for several years when I made her a pillow. It shed like crazy.

Great replicas, so realistic!

Your comments about DM are about right, I see they don't proof read either! However it's still an intersting article.

I remember that, Ann

My girlfriend has a theory about the DM, that it deliberately doesn't proof read or correct its confusing headlines as their weird version of click-bait. I wouldn't be surprised since many of the comments are usually about their typos and grammar
