It was on that very day that I decided to learn more about the materials and technique used to create those characters. Once I understood the first principles of needle felting, I undertook a real self-taught exploration of it. I then started selling my creations at small craft markets and eventually became a needle felting teacher. I also taught a course on Domestika and have worked on various stop-motion projects as well.<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dhgshop.performize.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Caro-Indy-1.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><br><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">For DHG I have created several intriguing pieces.
