I’ve made a little world from the kingdom of felt. With each piece I made, the world grew larger,
and I felt as if I were on a fun journey. A needle transforms roving into all kinds of shapes. It’s
not limited to animals and people—it lends itself to things like houses, castles and scenery too. I
hope you’ll enjoy experiencing the gentle sweetness and warmth of wool felt in these pieces.
