I’m A Needle Felt Artist From A Small Village And I Bring Old Brushes Nobody Would Look Twice At Back To Life
I am a needle felt artist from a small village on the Northumbrian coast in the UK surrounded by castles, cats and copious amounts of tea.
I find old, beaten up, heavily used brushes that nobody would look twice at and bring them back to life with tiny animals stabbed to life with wool, creating whimsical pieces filled with life, curiosity, and danger.

Simon, can I buy some of yours work, something like this? I live in Serbia, Europe
I love your work, do you have a website where I could make a purchase? CHRIS
You come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder for money.
you are simply so incredibly talented!! thank you for this AMAZING treat!~
Reminds me of Brother Fox in the Isabel Dalhousie series by Alexander McCall Smith
These are ALL AMAZING! Such incredible work. You are one very talented lady.
Truly lovely! I can feel the grass under their feet! Do u do special orders? Website?
I would like to purchase one of your pieces if possible. twvon@icloud.com
I love love love all your creations. I tried to find a website to see about ordering one, but cannot find one. Can you please write to me to tell me if you sell your work? It's so enchanting and creative. Warm aloha from Hawaii, Karen Russell karen@healthylifeadvisors.org
Fantastic, would you do a Scottish Wildcat for my Gallery (www.scottishwildcatgallery.com) ?
Stunning could you please tell me how much something like this would be .?
Wow! This is lovely. I love animals, especially foxes, and re-purposing something to make it this cool, well, wow again!
Loved them all, a lot of work in each one.. and a sense of humour too
I LOVE everything I've seen--I just now learned about you. What is an easy way to purchase your marvelous pieces?
I was so enamoured with the fox, I didnt see the mouse. Totally blew me away. THANK YOU for sharing this.
I’d like to know if you have a price sheet...I love your work and am interested...😍
Beautiful! I love how you have caught the personality of the fox! Is your work for sale?
Where .. oh where can you get these ..... ??? I've gone on he's name still can't get to see if he sales them .. !!
Absolutely wonderful in the full sense of the word. Taking needle felting into the art rather than a craft.
Simon, how do I purchase there? You are so talented, these are all so wonderful.

When I was in the Navy, this type of brush was commonly referred to as a "foxtail." Quite appropriate.
Love love love, your observation skills must be good. You've really captured a moment there ;-)
This artist should be doing animation for Wes Anderson. Reminds me of The Fantastic Mr. Fox or Isle of Dogs.

I think this one is my favourite, oh how can one choose, they are all adorable
Your work is absolutely beautiful! I was watching a video on needle felting and it is a real art. Well done, you are awesome!
I love them all! Love the feelings, and the idas! So fantastic to make something new and valuable from old, useless things!
Absolutely amazing. Do you ever sell them and if so what price range? 💗
Those are tiny pieces of art, each and every single one. Really impressive and extremely real-looking! You have a true gift!
I saw the Bored Panda article on Fb, 20 minutes of research later I had a name for the gentleman felter and the knowledge that the Fenwick gallery had sold out of all your pieces. I would like to know 2 things please ...1/ How or where can your pieces be purchased? and 2/ Do you take commissions ? With a possible third curious of favourite tea? Thank you
Just amazingly creative! I collect both foxes and rabbits and these are so whimsical. Dont suppose there is an Etsy store?
These are absolutely gorgeous! The idea is fantastic and the execution beyond perfect! You did an amazing job! <3
Love your items. As previous people have asked, do you have a website for any items for sale?
Do you offer a "one of each" special? All kidding aside, stunning.
These are amazing! I especially love the foxes. You are so talented!
These are absolutely beautiful! I have great admiration for artists who have not only excellent technical skill but the ability to explore and express their ideas.
I would love to purchase one of these beautiful works of art - they make my heart sing!
Stunning work! It's so beautiful, using the brushes like that; they make the felt work come alive.
I agree with Vivien... they are beautiful !! Would love to see them in person.....
Can you forward a price for rabbits please? These are quite amazing!
This is a brilliant idea. They are charming and clever and I'd love one.
You do beautiful work—breathing new life into objects otherwise destined for a landfill. Today’s world needs more artists like you who see possibility (light) in the impossible (darkness).

I love the art within the brushes themselves. What a talent to bring these characters alive! Beautiful!
These are so charming, they make me feel happy. Really exquisite work.
Is that Fox really that small or is that brush really that big or is this just shook fake? LOL💙
Quaint and incredibly beautiful. Just looking at the pics makes me happy, instantly.
Incredible! Just incredible! It makes me want to go off and learn how to needle felt!
Utterly delightful and so highly skilled! Such wonderful art. Thank you!
This is amazing. Love the one with the fox! Do you happen to sell them by chance?
My daughter is learning needle felting, and will love these! I certainly appreciate the skill and imagination to come up with these amazing pieces.
I'm always amazed at what some people can do. It gives us a little much needed hope and reassurance.
A lot of skill and thought gone into your work. I like the fact that the old brushes and brooms gets a new lease of life!
