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.

This artist should be doing animation for Wes Anderson. Reminds me of The Fantastic Mr. Fox or Isle of Dogs.

Marvelous, its incredible to think that so talented people exists. The sensation you feel after a piece is finished, must be awesome. (sorry about my english).
All Of Them are truly brilliant; such a super idea and such a beautiful soul you have to do these ❤️
Do you sell your work? Do you do custom work? You are such a talented, gifted artist. Beautifully done. Just simply amazingly beautiful .
Absolutely enchanting!! Your work is immaculate and nothing less than beautiful. The world needs what you've given us. Thank you!!
You have a wonderful God given talent sir! How did you learn to do this? Are you still closed for commissions?

These are stunning! I love the different feeling you get with each of them.
So whimsical - and beautiful work! How lucky someone would be to have one of these art pieces!
You are truly a unique and excellent artist after my own heart. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderfull, whimsical day.
You are so clever, your work is beautiful, if mine turn out to be half as good I will be happy.

Absolutely stunning! Wow, you sure have an amazing talent. Thank you for sharing your work. Do you sell your pieces when you’re done?
These are all simply amazing and beautiful. So much whimsy, too. Thank you for sharing them. Do you offer any of them for sale?
These are gorgeous. The atmosphere of them makes me think of Watership Down.
You are so incredibly clever - I have never heard of this art form but it is so beautiful and the creatures you make are so poignant - thank you for sharing them
Great execution and design. Usage of materials is super. For something that I would normally say was too 'cute' and art and craft like, this is really amazing. I think it has to do with the real-life appearance of the animals. keep it up
These are totally out of thIs world ! Do you have a website with some for sale ?
Omg! This is A M A Z I N G! Thank you for this awesome eye-candy post.
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!
