NEW FEATURED ARTIST
We are excited to announce a new consignment artist to the studio! Many of you have seen our adorable needle felted gator in the shop! She was made by the talented Yoko Namura, also known as Feltmates!
Yoko’s Artist Statement…I create humorous felted animals, I call feltmates, colorful felted fashions and fun yet functional crafting supplies. Feltmates and my other items are all hand felted with 100% wool. I work using both the wet felting and the needle felting methods. To give my felted work a modern pop design, I choose bright and cheerful colors of wool. I also use other materials like silk chiffon, cotton and vintage fabric in my women’s handbags and accessories. I hope you enjoy my work which combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary style.
