Needle Felting
While researching what media I could work in with my chronic fatigue a key factor was it would have to be something I could pickup, put down and work on in 15 minute blocks.
I've been crocheting for around 5 years and so my exploration naturally tilted towards wool, which is where I happened upon needle felting.
I started in January 2018 with a beginners kit and was hooked. I love working with this material as it allows me to explore different natural fibres and dyes.
Most felt artists finish their pieces with wet felting. This is currently too labour intensive for me, but as I continue to recover the potential is there to explore this new technique.

A little word about the Ginger Stickman...
None of this would have been possible without my partner and biggest fan who created this amazing website with me.
You'll see him around, he's manifested in my drawings as a ginger stickman!!
