Cherry Blossom and Bird - Needle / Wet Felting

Our 2D/3D Cherry Blossom project is an involved but accessible project resulting in a high impact piece which brings together many of our techniques for endless possibilities.
Using needle felting and wet felting, join Sara to create this dynamic piece of art. As always, we recommend watching first and then working along. Supplies can be found at www.sarafinafiberart.com You need 14g wires cut to (1) 22" and (2) 18" lengths. Also needed is 22g brown cloth covered wire. 26g green cloth covered wire is also something that would be useful, we do not currently sell it. You can use the black in its place.

The frame we use can be found here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275299457086...

Sarafina also provides a Cradled Panel and Foam Board combination: https://www.sarafinafiberart.com/coll...
