Something You Might Enjoy

About

My name is Karen. I make realistic wild animals & help felters create their best work to enjoy, gift or sell.

I share free tutorials, common sense felting advice, experiments, tips and inspiration on YouTube. I also explore using rare/heritage breed wool and combine mixed media with felting.

I write fiber related articles and share work (that doesn’t make it into a video) right here on my website. You can also find lists of my favorite needle felting tools, supplies, felting related books, fiber suppliers and answers to frequently asked questions.

I’m currently working on video courses for release later this year. Sign up for my newsletter if you’d like to stay in the loop!
