From the Scottish Highlands . . .

My Very First Needle Felted Scottish Highlander

This was my very first needle felted Scottish Highlander, created back in 2015. It is always fun for me to look back at these earlier pieces and see how my needle felting has changed over the years.

The Scottish Highlander eventually became one of the projects I teach in the Bear Creek Needle Felting Academy, where members can work through complete project courses and continue building their needle felting skills.

A lot has changed at Bear Creek Felting since I made this little calf. Today we raise around 400 sheep on our North Dakota farm and process our wool in our own fiber mill in Fort Ransom. The wool is carded into sliver specifically for needle felting and is used throughout many of the projects, kits and supplies I create.
