Description

If you are interested in commissioning a wool sculpture, please email me and I will gladly work with you on any project. I have options available for almost any budget.

If you are interested in a print of this image, please email me and I will list one in My Store! I will also create custom products such as greeting cards for you.

One day, I sat down with some fleece and said "What shall I stab into shape today?" and the answering thought screamed "NARWHAL!" and so..... here he is! A 100% wool, no wire, no filler, narwhal. I love him. He resides on my shelf next to my pirate ship with my Pirate Captain Pocket Doll on deck.

About My Sculptures
My wool sculptures are created by needle felting wool fiber into shape. I love to create highly detailed sculpture and I felt incredibly firmly to give my sculptures strength and durability. They have very little give, will not squash, lose their shape, or fall or pull apart with mild to moderate play or handling. I am often known to toss mine into my purse to take them on outings and my cats have gotten a hold of, bunny kicked, bitten, and shook some of my pieces and all have survived with little to no damage. Most wool sculptures are not meant to be given to children, but I do my best to make my sculptures able to stand up to to gently play from a child who knows how to take care of toys.

Because I spend that extra time to make my felting so firmly my pieces often cost more than others you may come across. Rest assured that if you choose to purchase one of my pieces you will not be disappointed with my work and they will last for a very long time.

About Needle Felting
Needle felting is the laborious process of taking carded wool fiber and sculpting it using a special barbed needle. Using this needle I stab the wool fleece many thousands of times. Each stab weaves and compresses the fibers together, creating the shape of the piece.

Oh, this is beautiful - such lovely colors of wool, too!
And there's not even wire in the horn? (I'm quite a novice with needle felting, heh. ^^;)
