I am a needle felt artist from a small village on the Northumbrian coast in the UK surrounded by castles, cats and copious amounts of tea.

I find old, beaten up, heavily used brushes that nobody would look twice at and bring them back to life with tiny animals stabbed to life with wool, creating whimsical pieces filled with life, curiosity, and danger.

    Yeah it'd be cool, but I've tried needle felting and it takes FOREVER to to make something. There would need to be a giant team of people working on it.
