About Me

I am a relatively self taught artist. I use the word relatively because up to the age of 16  I did art in school, but was not that good at it, I just scrapped by a pass in my country's art exams. Due to emotional upheaval in my early 20's I picked up a paint brush, some acrylic paints and a canvas, and with some very talented and encouraging artys friends started to paint. Since then my art skills have improved and I have created paintings in acrylic, oil and watercolour, illustrated few books and learned how to paint digital (which was required for book illustration)- Portfolio.

  One day in 2011 I was looking at a craft magazine and I saw a  little sculpture made of wool using wool that looked like the wool I had been seeing in our town's art & craft shop which had been catching my eye. So the next time I was in the area I bought a few grams of the stuff, went home, got my sewing needle and began to stab it. Nothing happened. I read the article again, did some research online, back then there was very little on this thing called needle felting in english.  But I did discover I need a needle felting needle with barbs and not a sewing needle :) . Later that year I opened my etsy shop as I had to do something with the little (and they were very little) birds I was making.

 A few years later, with life happening I decided to concentrate on felting .

After the pandemic years a little felting burnout was happening, and in 2023 started to explore shrink plastic. Due to the equipment I "needed" this resulted in my exploring resin and also sticker making. Which brings us to here and why in my shop there are more things than just needle felting art.
