Enhance your needle felting skills while making felting this beautiful Western Tanager, a bird known for its gorgeous red, yellow, and vibrant orange colors! Good for the beginner and those looking to further develop their skills, students will explore effective shading techniques, use a reverse needle to create feathers, and utilize different types of wool and needles. Through the process, we will discuss why and when you might pick one wool over another. Drawing on the color wheel, we will discuss ways to blend wool in a painterly manner to create new colors and use complementary colors effectively.

    You will also need:

    Felting mat (not included in basic kit, but can be purchased from Big Sky Fiber Arts), pair of sharp, small scissors. Students should purchase a frame, if desired, to showcase their project. A frame is not included in the kit. 


    Recommended, but not required: Needle felting tool holding multiple needles. If you are going to buy just one, I recommend the Clover pen style. It holds three needles. The Clover tool that holds 5 needles is helpful as well.

  • Completion Level: 50-75 percent depending on student
