My name is Karen and I make animals. I learned to needle felt by doing tutorials. I have completed 66 so far. I have 8 more to go on my list.
Recently, I started creating my own designs for sculptures, portraits, and tutorials. Wild animals, birds, and livestock are my favorite subjects. Making an animal means I take a deep dive into learning about it. The story is always interesting, inspiring and beautiful. I'm also exploring using wool from rare or heritage breed sheep.
I hope that my work helps us embrace and protect the creatures we share our world with.
I share my needle felting process, experiments, and tips here. Pieces available for sale are listed in my Etsy shop.
Follow along and we'll create realistic needle felted animals together!
