They have also authored Needle Felting Teddy Bears for Beginners and Needle Felting for Beginners. Roz lives in Somerset, UK and Judy lives in Kent, UK.

I have every one of Roz and Judy’s books – or The Woolly Felters as they are known and with every one I just wonder how they can better the previous one but they do! Just like their previous titles this one starts simple and works up to the more complex figures. It doesn’t matter if you have never done any needle felting before, as everything is very clearly laid out as to what is needed and the photography is just superb detailing each step along the way.If you want to replicate what’s in the book there’s instructions to do that but even better you can go further and learn how to personalise your makes so that they resemble you or your family and friends! It’s such a great fun book full of the authors' personalities and sense of fun and I highly recommend following them as The Woolly Felters on Facebook too to see more of their creations and fun tales that their characters get up to as this will only enhance your own creativity!All in all another fantastic book and I will say it again – how on earth are will they top this one?!
