Handmade needle felted creations by Lupin and Nina. We are fun, quirky, and queer. Boston based, best friends in real life, and taking this artistic journey one day at a time. Make sure to turn your screen reader on for image descriptions.
We’re flying in with one of Nina‘s birds today. We’ve been pretty busy celebrating Hanukah, the solstice, and Christmas. We hope that y‘all are finding ways to enjoy, rest, and recharge this holiday season, and we can’t wait to share more of our felted friends with y’all in the new year! ❄️🕎☃️🎄

It’s a Water Bear! It’s a Moss Piglet! It’s a Tardigrade! This typically microscopic extremophile was felted by Lupin who’s fascinated by these veracious omnivores who’d be super scary if they were us sized, and not smaller than a poppy seed.

On this #NationalBlackCatDay , we wanted to pay tribute to our own gregarious feline. 🐈‍⬛ Nina was introduced to him by the lovely folks from For Pet’s Sake Rescue in Long Beach Mississippi in the late summer of 2023.

One of the best parts about #FiberArts is spending time with the farmers and their creatures. From the 5 year olds showing their first #Sheep 🐑 to the early 30s #Artisan selling goat’s milk soap, 🐐 to the women in their 80s who are still spinning and dying #Yarn 🧶 Everybody is always so nice.

On a scale of one to ten, we rate this shetland sheep… 100. Easy. Obviously. No other possible choice. This little buddy hopped up to say hi to Nina while we were at the Massachusetts Sheep and Woolcraft Fair this past May, and we still talk about them a lot. Wouldn’t you?

Howdy,

We are not just posting this mole in the mulch because they’re adorable. It’s also because this tactile explorer fits in with today’s theme. 🦯

Look at this little friend, this soft buddy, this delightful kitty cat! 😻 We had to help him find all the marbles he left out in the grass, so he could pass them onto the next orange boy who needs them to think all his citrusy thoughts. 🧡

So, long time no update. It’s been a busy few months for us. We had our first art market in July, our second in August, and our third and fourth back to back in September. We’ve got a backlog of pictures and stories to share, so stay tuned. 💜

“Ribbit. Ribbit.” Everyone deserves a little froggy on their Friday. This friendly amphibian was felted by Lupin. #BestFeltedFriends #NeedleFelting #FiberArts #Frogs
