The art of needle felting can produce endless possibilities of hyper-realistic - almost taxidermic - results. With a little know-how, some needles, wool and a few inexpensive accessories, you can learn to needle felt like a professional.

Take your needle felting to a whole new level to create a range of lifelike endangered wild animal species: this book, by world-class felting master Cindy-Lou Thompson of Chicktin Creations, will take you through the steps.

Covering four different endangered wild animals, with step-by-step instructions and photos, Cindy takes you through the process of creating different body shapes, proportions, armatures, coats and blending, as well as realistic finishing touches such as eyes, nails, ears, feathers and detailing.
Learn how to achieve a professional finish you will be proud of with different textured coats: blending, clipping and adding shape to give the animals a realistic finishing touch. Some of the variety of mediums and methods detailed here have been designed and developed by Cindy herself.
