The Funky Felter's News & Tips

Black Friday through Cyber Monday Sales and Specials for my handmade felted goodies and my local Kansas City Etsy Street Team too!


In honor of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I have loaded my SUPER SALES section with fabulously discounted prices. My sale items are now 20% - 40% off! They also ship free to the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Many of my regularly priced items ship free to those countries as well with low shipping rates to everywhere else.

In addition to the great deals in my SUPER SALES section, for my blog readers only, I'm offering 30% off all non-sale items. This includes all regularly priced items that are not marked SALE in the title. All you have to do is type the promotional code "FFCYBERBLOG-30" in the message to seller at checkout. You must include the promo code in order to receive the discount. Please go ahead and pay via PayPal during checkout, and I'll refund 30% on all non-sale item prices via PayPal after purchase. (Or, if you prefer, I can send you an updated PayPal invoice, but please let me know that in the message to seller at checkout.) This promotional discount offer is only good from Black Friday, November 28th, through midnight on Cyber Monday, December 1st, so don't miss out!

And, if that wasn't enough great deals for the weekend, my local Kansas City Etsy Street Team is having a holiday sale blowout with several shops participating. Click here to see listings of all the great deals from KCEtsy or search Etsy for "kcetsysale" to find them. Also, many shops are having shipping specials and including freebies with purchases. Please read shop announcements for individual shop deals and visit the team's blog for more information.
 

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'm a fiber artist specializing in traditional and modern felt making techniques. I have a bachelor of fine art degree in graphic arts and also work as a freelance designer occasionally. My day job is teaching college level graphic arts courses for a local college which I really enjoy, but my artistic passions are fiber arts and felt making 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 and angora. My felted items are a wide range of wearable and functional art including hats, scarves, purses, jewelry, brooches, hair accessories, ACEO's, 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.
(Designers only) I am willing to do:
Custom orders, Consignment, Wholesaling

The Winged Woolly Cuff - a newly designed felted wool wrist cuff!

This is my latest felt design - a versatile wrist cuff. It is made of all hand felted wool with no metal snaps or velcro necessary for closure. I felt each cuff individually so that there are no two quite alike. In order for them to be fully adjustable, I've added long extensions to each end. These can be wrapped… Continue
