Having
had
little
interest
in
creating
my
own
artwork
through
other
mediums,
I
never
thought
myself
as
artistic.
I
then
discovered
needle
felting
and
things
began
to
change.
I
found
a
new
way
of
expressing
myself
through
this
diverse
medium
and
soon
I
was
hooked.
It
was
clear
from
quite
early
on,
my
belief
that
I
had
no
artistic
skills
was
ill-founded
as
more
and
more
people
complimented
me
on
my
work
and
were
astounded
at
the
realism
that
I
was
able
to
bring
to
my
portraits
and
sculptures.
With
skills
honed
and
experience
gained,
I
am
now
a
professional
and
my
life
is
transformed;
I
hope
you enjoy my work.
I
really
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
to
read
all my information. I hope you find it helpful.
I
love
to
recreate
people’s
beloved
pets
especially those that are no longer with us.

A website Showcasing my
Needle Felting skills
I have been needle-felting since 2017 I started after I saw someone doing the craft on a TV programme. I thought ‘that looks interesting and fun, I think I’ll have a go at that’. I bought a kit and started on my journey. The kit was a sheep, but when I asked what my family thought of my first make, they said ‘is it a goat?’ Well, I then felted him a beard and he joined a knitted Nativity set that we had. Every time I take the Christmas decorations out of the loft, I’m reminded of how far I have come! I have dabbled in 3D items and still do sometimes, but now I really prefer to do 2D portraits. I am using the wool as a form of paint to recreate as faithfully as possible the photos that customers provide.
