Creativity has guided my life as far back as I can remember
fabric,yarn.paints…so many possibilities as a child. As is true of most crafters, that child-like joy has never left me but has been guided and nurtured through skill development. Today my creativity has brought me to another level,needlefelting with wool, yarns and all kinds of fiber can't get enough. I create one-of-a-kind Felted Art by hand, using 100% merino wool. Some of my bags are hand knitted with two strands of wool yarn then felted in hot soapy water. I also create bags and wallets from recycled wool sweaters felted in hot water then embellished with wool,beads,unique buttons and antique earrings. The Nuno felted scarves are uniquely designed by "wet felted", and "thrown" to create a luxurious piece of art. It's like wearing a piece of soft-stained art around your neck. My "wool art" pillows are designed by "painting with wool" laying out wool and create a desired picture then wet felted in hot soapy water, then it is machine and hand embellished to bring out details, and texture. I love doing custom work. It makes me happy to give someone a one-of-a kind piece of art. Please contact me if you would like me to create something special for you. |
