I began felting just over a year ago when my husband bought me my first felt kit to keep me busy on dark winter evenings. After that I was hooked and have been slowly but steadily learning not only techniques, some with more success than others, but which projects I love to felt the most. Turns out it's wild animals of all types. I especially enjoy working on octopus as well as bears, hares, and hedgehogs but I am prepared to go where my brain takes me ( most recently a felt Donald Trump, a Batman and a range of space creatures). I have also discovered that I favour a looser felting style which I find lends itself to the fluffiness of the bears I like to make and more movement within projects that have armature. I work at home, enjoying nothing more than felting whilst listening to my favourite podcasts. It turns out after a year of making felts for myself, family and friends, my kids have begun to roll their eyes every time I say ' I've made something else' and so here I am on Folksy.
As well as my husband and kids I share my home with two cats and tank full of tropical fish, varying in number depending on what the shrimp have been up to! On reflection perhaps that's where Land and Sea comes from.
