In this video, Nicola discusses the importance of using reference images in needle felting. The use of reference images is particularly important when creating a 2D needle felted picture. 2D needle felting is also sometimes called 'painting with wool'.

Nicola will also share, with you, her recommendations for sourcing images that you can use without breaching copyright laws.
