That's really good. Looks like he's ready to howl at the full moon!

Ann used a good word, 'alive'. The picture is not static and I think it takes talent to achieve that.
It's lovely and you've chosen the colours well.

Thank you very much for all your lovely and encouraging comments  I really enjoyed making this picture, I learnt lots and can't wait to start another project. I just love the feel of the beautiful wool and I have found it a very kind teacher! I don't know anyone in real life who I can talk to about felting so your opinions means a lot to me x |

If you have a weavers and spinners guild or group near you, you may find some felters there. The other place is doll and teddy bear making groups. Not that we don't want to talk to you, we do but it is nice to have someone you can chat to in person.

I've had a search online but the spinners and weavers appear to do just that (and dyeing). Maybe I should check out the posters and adverts in the local craft shop for groups |

Maybe advertise for fellow needle felters. Start a group if there isn't one. It's a nice portable art so you can meet anywhere.

I know that our spinners and weavers guild online would look like there were no felters. However, there are members who felt. So it wouldn't hurt to contact them.

The only felting group in my town are the weavers and spinners. I am the only one who does felting in my quilters guild. And I don't do that much. Only needlefelting.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I like your little Fox and Moon composition. You did a good job with contrasts. You put a very dark patch behind the very lightest element, (the moon) and that made it look quite dimensional. The fox has a very realistic look. He definitely would not be mistaken for a dog. Good job.
