Hand Needle Felted Boxes and Containers




This is from my wild rose collection. I just love these little flowers that still grow in our Island hedgerows.  I created this piece using both wet felting and dry needle felting techniques and I hand blended cream and pink wools to give a pretty swirly effect.  It is fully lined with vintage silk and velvet in a dusky pink so that your jewellery and trinkets do not catch in the wool felt. I have secured the lid with a hinge and embellished the top with three beautiful roses and twisted stems. It is secured by a twisty loop and a handmade button. This little pot will look great on a dressing table or shelf. 



This beautiful mushroom container can store your secret things and makes a wonderful ornament with its Autumn scene around the base. You can see a little rabbit munching the plants and some mushrooms and berries. The lid has a lovely grey squirrel holding an acorn, 'mmm should I eat it or store it, decisions decisions' !!!!! 



This cute little mushroom container can store your secret things and makes a beautiful little ornament. I created it using a dry needle felting technique with hand blended wool in tones of cream and brown with a green leafed acorn.

Fantasy Flower Needle Felted Fairies

There are dancing fairies at the bottom of my garden. Let me introduce you to ....

Fairy Sunflower



She is very proud of her new lavender ballet shoes and she loves to sit or just hang about near you. If you are very lucky she might even practice her dancing for you.



Fairy Violet


I have placed fine wire in her arms and legs so she is gently poseable and a ribbon loop between her wings.

Welcome to the Autumn... Soft Sculptures...Needle Felted

OAK LEAF with HEDGEHOG, ACORN and LADYBIRD....
'Is this friend or food?', Mr hedgehog says to himself as he wanders across the floor of the oak forest. He is giving the little ladybird a good sniff while she sits firmly on her acorn.

AUTUMN TREE STUMP HOUSE and TWO HEDGEHOGS.....

This is a wonderful tree stump house that a Mother hedgehog and her baby have found to live in. It is a bit too big for them really so there is plenty of room inside for other friends to share.

AUTUMN LEAF with THREE HUNGRY HEDGEHOGS EATING BERRIES from an ACORN BOWL...

Love this cute little family of hedgehogs eating ripe, red berries from their acorn bowl. I created this beautiful sculpture using a soft needle felting technique and hand blended my wool in gorgeous Autumn colours.
A beautiful work of art for your Nature table.
