Needle-felted illustrated children's books
Self-publishing a series of children's books illustrated with hand-made needle-felted art.
The idea, in plain language
Self-publishing a series of children's books whose illustrations are hand-made needle-felted art. The maker turns a personal needle-felting hobby into a children's book product line, selling through self-publishing channels. It is a craft-to-product business that depends on the maker's hand-skills and time per book. No revenue, margins, or startup-cost figures are given in the episode.
Where the sources agree
