Do we know how to have fun or what?
People who take up needle felting tend to fall in love with this gentlest and most portable of mediums.
Today, October 16, 2016, I taught needle felting at West Hartford Art League. The participants had no problem with taking up that soft wool and sitting there chatting for hours--in most cases, six hours, to be exact.

None of the participants in this class had ever done this before. Needle felting a landscape involves using wool as if it were paint or crayon or marker, and using those colors to create an image, real or imagined. The student above is inspired by a scene from one of the West Hartford reservoirs.
The student above is focusing on a woods and water and island scene.
Here's Karen, who came all the way from Naugatuck for this class, working on a scene from Cape Cod.
Erica stayed the whole six hours and look what she did--the first time she ever picked up a felting needle.
Anne Marie used yarn to get dimension in the tree trunk.
And look what Karen did. Look at that sky.
This was Karen's first experience with felting.
