I started needle felting around 2017 after a trip to Vancouver in Canada. I visited Granville Island Market where I met a needle felt artist – I was amazed by her work. I instantly knew it was something I wanted to try.

When I got back, I watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials and tried out a ton of different-sized needles and fibers until I found what worked for me. I mainly made pet portraits for friends and family in the beginning, both 2D and 3D. Then during lockdown, I was furloughed from work and found myself with lots of time to really experiment and have fun with it.

I take a lot of inspiration from my childhood, I’m a '90s kid, so have a particular love of that era – it was a weird time full of creeps like Mr. Blobby, Barney, and the Teletubbies. I'm also a huge fan of artist Mark Ryden, and I take a lot of inspiration from his cute but slightly creepy paintings.

I, for one, want to know what the fabric feels like. It looks like that felt fabric that feels so good to touch!

OH MY GOD, ITS THE TELETUBBIES! DECAPITATED!!!!

The majority of my doll heads come from car boot sales and charity shops. I’ve also found a couple of lost dolls out in the street or in the park while walking my dog – I will admit that I’ve taken a couple out of the bins behind the back of a charity shop... I love the idea of rescuing them and giving them a new lease of life.

Lots of my followers comment that they look much happier in their new bodies. When I choose a head to work with, I very rarely have a plan for what I’m going to make. Instead, I just start felting and let the face decide!

    I think my soul is so damaged by this entire post, all that’s bothering me with this is that some of the hands have arms and the different lengths is weird.
