Good Feathers In Fiber

Welcome to Good Feathers in Fiber and Good-Feathers.com – where wool becomes wonder!

Step into my enchanted studio where ordinary fleece transforms into extraordinary souls. I'm a needle felting artist who believes magic lives in the space between what is and what could be, creating one-of-a-kind sculptures that don't just decorate your world – they inhabit it with personality and purpose.

My felted friends range from rebellious characters with mischievous glints in their eyes to gentle seasonal spirits that capture the essence of each passing season. Whether it's a wise owl harboring ancient secrets, mice plotting their next garden adventure, or a harvest deer carrying autumn's blessing, each creation emerges with its own story waiting to unfold in your home.

I call my approach "realistic fantasy" – where meticulous craftsmanship meets pure imagination. Every piece begins as premium wool from farms across three countries, then awakens through hours of meditative needle work, often adorned with found treasures, subtle sparkles, and nature's own gifts. No two pieces are ever identical because magic, like nature, refuses to be replicated.

My journey to this magical realm began after 39 years of choreographing dreams as a dance school owner. Those decades of bringing stories to life through movement, designing costumes that transformed dancers into characters, and creating sets that transported audiences prepared me for this new adventure. Retirement didn't slow my creativity – it simply gave it new form, trading choreography for sculpture, tutus for fleece.

Every piece that leaves my studio carries a bit of that performance magic – the belief that art should move you, make you pause, maybe even make you smile when you're having an ordinary day. These aren't just decorations; they're companions, conversation starters, and tiny ambassadors of joy.

Whether you're seeking the perfect gift that tells someone they're special, or searching for that magical something to make your space feel more alive, I hope you'll discover a new friend here who's been waiting just for you.

Welcome to the magic – I'm so glad our paths have crossed!
