And to show the process for needle felting these “mini” birds, here are some pictures of the mini-owls we made last year, from rough cylinder to a finished owl, and then many more from the class!a sequence of 4 needle felted mini-owls in progress, from the core to a color applied to one with eyes, to a finished owl. Each is roughly cylindrical and about 1" tall.
