PRIZE:WOOL OF YOUR CHOICE and a CUSTOM MADE FELTING NEEDLE
Send me your entries. Anything can be entered that is needle felted. You can enter a 3-D sculpture, a wool painting, a felted applique, felted beads, whatever you can think of felting.
DON’T BE DISCOURAGED IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER!!! IF I HAVE ENOUGH ENTRIES, I MAY HAVE A BEGINNER’S CATEGORY AND A MORE ADVANCED CATEGORY. ALL ENTRIES ARE IMPORTANT. BEGINNER ONES HELP OTHERS TO GET STARTED TOO!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TO ENTER:EMAIL ME YOUR PHOTOS and a short DESCRIPTION TO:
gfelted@verizon.net
I will then post your photos with your comment at the top of this page.
If you can, it would be great to send me pictures that are larger than 200 pixels.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PRIZE is FREE WOOL of YOUR CHOICE!
I have some wool listed in my ETSY SHOP, but I can also make you a special custom combination of any wool/fiber that you may need for a project that you’d like to do. I have lots of wool that I don’t have listed for sale. Most are animal colors, but I do have bright colors if you need some of that as shown in the photo.
PRIZE ALSO INCLUDES: a CUSTOM MADE FELTING NEEDLE
This is the cutest needle great for doing fine details and smaller sculptures! The grip is so comfortable and gives your fingers a break with a different grasp than used with a regular needle. You’ll just love it!!
Check out the wool in my Etsy shop to pick your favorite and send me your entries.
WHO WILL BE THE FIRST ENTRY OF THE NEW YEAR???
SEND YOUR ENTRIES TO:gfelted@verizon.net
I’LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR LOVELY CREATIONS!!
Gourmetfelted's Weblog 
Don’t be shy! I know you’re out there reading my blog. You don’t have to have a perfect sculpture to enter. Anyone can enter and it’s free! We can all use more wool, right? Seeing your sculptures has inspired other people to start needle felting. Isn’t that a great influence that your work can have on people? If you have entered one of my contests,you can always enter again! I’ll be looking forward to seeing your creations!
HAPPY FELTING!

As soon as the things I ordered arrive, I’ll get right on my first felting creation; I can’t wait!
Incidentally, how long is the contest open for? My husband and I are currently posted abroad and anything ordered from the states usually takes 2-3 weeks to arrive 😦

Hi Linda,
Welcome to my blog! Thanks for posting my contest! I hope to see an entry from you! If you scroll down right under my felting contest, there is a new needle felted sheep tutorial that I just created. It can be made with or with out my needle felting sheep kit. Of course, my kit is fun because it has everything you need to make the sheep and bonus items of a mini hay bale, copper bell, and sparkle wool for snow.
I also am in the current TEDDY BEAR REVIEW MAGAZINE, February issue. Three of my needle felted dogs are included in an article on Needle Felting. It is very exciting for me!

Hi Gerry,
I found your contest through the craftgossip site. My questions are these..can a submitted item be something we have already created? And could an item for submission be an item we have created and sold? Obviously it would need to be an item we have photos of..but I just need clarification on the submission possibilities..thanks so much..

Hi Rachel,
Welcome to my blog! Have you been felting a long time?
I don’t have a lot of rules and regulations. As long as YOU needle felted it, that’s fine. You can email your photos and a brief description to gfelted@verizon.net
