5 out of 5 starsDavina is a sweetheart. She worked hard to get this custom order just right. Great communication along the way, too. It was a pleasure to work with her. Finished product turned out great. Hope to purchase more oddlings (as well as non oddlings) from this talented artist.

5 out of 5 starsThese felted sloths are so unique and beautiful. Ive never seen anything like them. Received mine today and they are exquisite! I love them and will always treasure them. Thankyou Davina for handmaking these amazing creatures for me. You are so very talented - It is so great that we have such talented people in the world, like you, to make treasures for people to cherish! Thankyou. A faultless transaction on Etsy.

Hard at work on a pastel piece. What's hiding in the sky?
Life on Earth is a little odd for us all
Pieces of tissue paper twitch and come to life as flying dragons. Bruises on a pear stare back at you with mischievous plans. A pile of rags wraps and knots into a magical mummy. The creative spark is all around us!
I have always loved making creatures out of whatever I could get my hands on. It was in 2007 that I stumbled upon the art of needle felting and have yet to exhaust the possibilities of this fiber medium. The scope of wool creation is truly immense! I am equally fascinated by the natural world and the world of imagination, and you will find sloths, tapirs, and lorises alongside fantastical griffins, snonkeys, and dragons in my shop.
In 2017, I began exploring Crayola crayons as a serious art form and even made my wedding invitations using my crayon drawings. I love surprising people with the seemingly ordinary by showing how astonishing the world really is.
I find something mysterious and magical in all the creatures of Earth - even the humble garden snails contains within it unfathomable oddity and yet those eyes, reaching out on alien translucent stalks, peer at you like a curious friend. I believe my own oddness helps me see the familiar in the strangest of places - and the oddness in the most ordinary.
I enjoy doing all sorts of art and crafting. Check back often to see something new!

The felted oddlings are made for decoration and light use; they are not toys and will not hold up to rough handling. Should your oddling unravel or be attacked by your pet, please contact me and I would be happy to felt it back into perfect shape for you.
