Now What exactly is Felt Art?
A Little Wool, a Little Wonder, and a Story Waiting to Be Told
My felt art begins with wool, a handful of felting needles, and usually an idea that has been quietly wandering around in my imagination.
I'm a fiber artist who creates three-dimensional wool sculptures inspired by nature, everyday moments, human connection, and the little stories that make life interesting. From tiny companions that fit in the palm of your hand to elaborate family trees filled with miniature people, animals, and hidden treasures, each piece has a personality and a story of its own.
How It All Comes Together
Working with wool is a wonderfully slow process. Using traditional needle felting techniques, I build shapes, add layers, and carefully work the fibers together until something begins to take form.
Some sculptures begin with a wire armature to give them structure. Others grow from simple shapes, bits of wool, and a willingness to see where the process leads.
There are no molds, patterns, or machines creating these little characters. Each sculpture is shaped by hand, one needle poke at a time. And there are quite a few pokes!
Where Inspiration Finds Me
Nature has always been one of my favorite places to find inspiration. The shape of a tree, the character of an animal, or the quiet beauty of the changing seasons can spark an idea.
But I'm just as inspired by people and the stories we carry. A favorite memory, a family tradition, a small act of kindness, or even one of those pesky creative monsters that occasionally whispers in our ears can become the beginning of a sculpture.
I love adding little details that invite someone to look closer, smile, and perhaps discover something they hadn't noticed before.
More Than Wool
For me, felt art isn't simply about making something beautiful. It's about curiosity, patience, imagination, and finding meaning in the making.
Every sculpture is a little different. Some are playful, some are sentimental, and others carry a quiet reminder that we all need now and then.
My hope is that when you look at my work, you don't just see wool. You discover a little story, a familiar feeling, or something that makes you smile.
After all, even the smallest handful of wool can hold a rather wonderful story.
