Stitching Tales, Carving Dreams
My way to stitching was really long. When a while ago I started making THINGS I was far from creating my embroidered heirloom plushies.
I learned languages in college and worked a little as an interpreter and translator, but suddenly found myself being a full time crafter for over a year by the time I opened Woodland Tale.
Making things is something I always did since my childhood, my Grandma taught me crocheting, embroidery, stitching and mending clothes. I learned to knit myself in homage to my Mom, who did amazing things with yarns and knitting needles. Later I worked in a crafts and hobby shop and I learned how to use many things like paints, mediums on various types of paper and other surfaces.
But what captured me totally was making embroidered critters. I make with love my stitched ones, and I hope you can feel it every time my creation appears in you hands.
The idea that something I did by hand can make someone smile hundreds miles away - what an awesome reward!
Our stamps were introduced in 2014, when Eugen started carving them of rubber - first, for our packaging and paper goods - later for sale.
