Needle felting isn’t an easy craft to master. But those who are good at it can produce some amazing results. This artist, for example, can create wool animal sculptures that look incredibly real. Her wool-felted animals include adorable dogs, cats, bunnies, parrots, and other animals. The sculptures are made from wool that is imported directly from Japan.
Melissa, who goes by the name 'mootomotto’ on her social media profiles, had a keen interest in art even as a kid, and she got curious about a technique called needle felting a few years back. After trying her hand at the craft a few times, Melissa discovered that she was a natural. She has never looked back. We feature 15 of the best (and cutest) wool animal sculptures by the artist here. Her felted animals are so cute, we wish we could keep them as pets!
