I am a multidisciplinary maker with a love for
many crafts, from sewing to painting, but it is needle felting that has truly
captured my imagination. What began as a simple kit picked up at Christmas two
years ago quickly grew into a deep and rewarding creative practice.
Through felting, I create bespoke,
characterful pieces from miniature foods to animals and whimsical bumblebees.
I’m especially drawn to the personal nature of the craft; each piece can hold
meaning, memory, or personality. I often design small mascots inspired by
favourite animals, which are made to accompany people in their everyday lives, whether
perched on a desk or travelling along on adventures..jpg)
What I find most magical is the transformation itself: starting with nothing more than a soft ball of wool and, through careful, repetitive motion, shaping it into something full of life and charm. The process is both calming and captivating, offering a sense of joy and quiet focus.
I’m passionate about encouraging others to explore creativity in any form. Trying something new, even on a whim, can open the door to unexpected fulfilment and peace.
