Turn a ball of wool into an adorable little fox in a few easy steps
Artist Lesley-Anne Green started out as a ceramist and then transitioned into doll making. But when she came across the art of needle felting, she never looked back. In a matter of hours, Green can poke and stab a ball of wool roving into the cutest bunny, pig, hedgehog or fox.
Green came by our CBC Arts studio and showed us how she creates her colourful little animals. In this video, we see one of Green's foxes come to life before our eyes.
Try it! What other craft lets you release all of your emotions by stabbing a ball of wool with a needle thousands of times — and end up with a cute furry animal friend?
