Hi there!

I live with my family in the southeast of Germany, in a small village at the edge of the bavarian forest. Here we own an old house with a very big garden and some woodland.

Since I can remember, I like to do something with my hands. After trying out several kinds of art, I discovered the art of felting in the year 2004. As always I learned everything autodidactically out of books and by trial and error.
Wool is so awesome. There are so many colors to choose from and there is such a variety of scopes for design (of which I tried not even the half of it) that I think it is a gorgeous material for handmade art.
I get most of my inspirations from nature. I like to watch the bees, the butterflies and other little animals. Or seeing the flowers, and walking through the forest is very inspiring. Then I feel the little secret beings...
