Welcome to my little shop! I make home décor and little soft sculptures of felted wool and other natural materials. I’m recreating the mysterious beautiful world of the forest floor in wool. You’ll find that mushrooms and toadstools abound here, as do star moss and pebbles and acorns. They are a lovely way to bring the organic beauty of the natural world to your indoor living space. Of course, there are many citizens of nature who simply must join this woolen world– so you will also find felted animals, houses, calm sitting people, dragons, and many others.

Wool is completely eco-friendly and biodegradable; I buy mostly from local shops and farms. I recycle/upcycle as much as I can, from bottlecaps and lids to hold my wool mushroom gardens, to the brown paper I pack my fragile items with. The packaging I use is completely plastic-free, too, because the Great Pacific Garbage Patch really doesn’t need to get any larger. I use reusable kraft boxes for packing fragile items, and CareMail recycled-newspaper mailers. I scavenge my own fallen acorns and use fragrance-free biodegradable detergent for my wet-felting. So you can be sure that, in our quest for lovely artful homes, we are not causing our earth to suffer for it.

I’m very open to custom orders, and I respond as quickly as I can to messages. Orders go out the door as soon as possible, sometimes even sooner than I state in my policies! By the way, please check them out at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HouseOfMoss/policy

Thank you for stopping by! Feel free to browse and explore. You’re always welcome at House of Moss.

Much love,
Alison
