New Collections for Autumn

NEW SERIES: Autumn Critters
Every single needle felted animal portrait I made for Indie Craft Parade found a home at the festival, so it was time to make some more. With my next festival just days away (The John C. Campbell Fall Festival in Brasstown, NC) I couldn't help but think of possums and other Appalachian woodland friends.
