In special early 2000 I became very interested in a new art - Needle Felting. While using a small needle with barbs, I learned how to poke the needle in and out of the wool and other fibers to make all types of flat or 3D characters. My first pieces were the Kitchen witches. Kitchen Witches keep your kitchen safe and your food protected. I found my greatest pieces were those done for the Holidays. Turkeys, Pilgrims, Santas, Elves and so much more. Santa has always been my most favorite of all!
Today I am working on needle felting all kinds of sheep, animals, birds, Teddy Bears, etc.
I love to make up One of a Kind - SPECIAL ORDERS - Customer orders are always Welcome.

I've worked with sheep and their by-products for over 55 years now. It began with 4H and graduated to a full life of Sheep fibers and sheepskins. After buying my special sheepskin leather sewing machines, machines I opened a business - "Ovine Products" I had to change the name to "Ovine Sheepskin Co" after I moved the business into Champaign. All those city folk did not know to the term "Ovine" and certainly not what it meant!
I primarily designed and made sheepskin slippers, hats and mittens. The business later became well known for the teddy bear - "Wooly Bear" - I designed and made from sheepskins. Although the store was closed while my girls went thru school, I was always thinking about what I could do next with wool.
