NEEDLE FELTING is an old art form that involves taking wool and poking it with a barbed needle until it starts to take form. It's taken me several years to hone my skills and I hope you like what you see!
Each creation takes hours of love and devotion and is truly one-of-kind. I believe in PRETTY packaging, CUTE things, and a PLEASANT shopping experience.
I'VE OPENED A SECOND SHOP here on Etsy! For items with a little more edge, please check it out: DEADutantesandCo.etsy.com
I hope something here makes you smile. Thank you for stopping by!

5 out of 5 starsnice! great timing. my 1966 priscilla arrived needing a new basket and it turns out that at least one of these looks very much like her original one from then! these are very cute, well made, and will complete a bunch of vintage alexander kins who were loved to the point of losing their baskets decades ago.
good seller, good packing, fast shipping, cute baskets, perfect transaction. 5 when everything new is old again stars. thank you. :) -

Obsessed With All Things Cute
When I first saw a needle felted creation in a magazine, I was amazed, curious, and HAD to know what it was all about! I hunted down the felting needle and the wool roving and immediately created my first mouse and I have been hooked ever since. I have always loved crafts and art and other creative ways to express my muse, but sculpting is the art form that I have stuck with and dedicated myself to learning, may it be wool or polymer clay. I created my Etsy shop in 2010 and have been adding to my Menagerie ever since!
What I love the most about Etsy is the feedback from customers and the friends that I have made. It's a community of like-minded people who love art, who make art, and who live art!
