The Funky Felter, a fiber artist specializing in modern and traditional felting

Profile Information

Location:
Kansas City, MO, U.S.A.
About Me:
Hello . . . I am formerly a college level design instructor who has recently made the choice to be a stay-at-home mommy. I'm also a professional fiber artist. I create art and wearables through needle felting and wet felting. My artistic passions are fiber arts and feltmaking among many other crafty endeavors.
Gender:
Gal
I am a/an:
Independent Artist/Designer, Blogger, Shopper
(Designers only) I create:
I create funky hand felted items with wool and other exotic animal fibers such as alpaca. My felted items are a wide range of wearable and functional art including hats, scarves, purses, jewelry, brooches, hair accessories, and some handmade fiber supplies.

My items are not woven, or knitted, with a spun yarn before the fulling, or shrinking process, but rather, they are created directly from the raw wool fibers. This is accomplished through wet felting, the earliest form of felt making, or through needle felting, a more modern technique.

You can find out more about the process of felt making on my blog.
