Welcome to Gilding the Woolly Felt. I hope you are enjoying your stay at the Fuzz Factory.
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Theresa and I create all of the art you see here at Gilding the Woolly Felt. All figures in the Fuzz Factory are made of 100% wool, some including wire armatures. What is a wire armature? Think of it as a wire skeleton that provides stability and movement. For example, the OOAK dolls you see here are fully poseable. Not only do their head, arms, and legs move, their fingers do too!
How do I do what I do? Read on if you'd like to learn more about needle felting.
Needle felting
What exactly is needle felting? Believe it or not, I create everything you see here by stabbing loose wool with barbed needles. It is a long arduous process but well worth the hours invested. Did you know that one piece of needle felted art can take days or even weeks to complete? This may help to explain why needle felted art can be so expensive.
