Needle felted polar bear

So about 8 months ago I started a new hobby: Needle Felting. What is that you might ask, as I did myself. Well the best I can describe it is sculpting with wool. In essence you use barbed needles to tangle wool fibres (or any other natural fibre) together to form 3D shapes.

Here is my first project (well the first one I was willing to admit to). It not a large polar bear, but I learned a lot about sculpting with needles in this one. He's made from white and black merino wool over a pipecleaner armature.
