I’ve always made things. One day I was poking around Twitch and came across Gilbertamie streaming needle felting. I had never heard of it. Her enthusiasm for needle felting made me want to try it. I purchased the Dimensions Fox Kit, made the fox in October of 2017, and I was hooked.
Since there were no classes in my area, I decided to spend a year learning how to needle felt by building a list of needle felting tutorials to complete. That turned into two years, then three, then four. I couldn’t stop adding to the list! As long as I keep learning from them, I’ll continue doing tutorials.
Recently, I began designing my own projects! My favorite subjects are wild animals, livestock, and birds. I love researching the animal as I make it. They are always fascinating, inspiring and beautiful. I hope that sharing their stories through my pieces helps us appreciate, embrace, and protect them.
Along this needle felting journey, I became interested in using different types of wool especially rare or heritage breed sheep. I’ve started exploring how I might incorporate those. Given that they are generally only available in natural colors, I have a feeling this will lead to some experiments with dye. Can’t wait!
I share my process, experiments and tips on YouTube.
Pieces available for sale are listed in my Etsy shop. I do not take commissions at this time. Maybe I will in the future, but not until I finish the long list of animals I dream of making!
