It's a bit of a 3d display, as I actually stuck a real felting needle through the paper where the illustration is, and glued some fiber and felt into the boxes on the right side.

What is Needle-felting?
I often get asked how my needle-felted pieces are made. It's very hard to explain without demonstrating the process; and hard to envision because it is like nothing else. You don't use a needle & thread; you don't use scissors; you don't use knitting or crochet needles. You use something called a felting needle, which most people have never heard of. I made this display piece to go alongside my work at the Graton Gallery.

Very nice Nancy. What you need to do is do a project and take photos as you go so you can show how loose wool gets felted and then shaped etc.
PS..You have stuff in the Graton Gallery? Super cool. I will have to stop in!
perfect way to get the point across..
