Needle-Felting

Needle felting is an ancient, meditative art form that transforms raw wool into form and expression. With each deliberate poke of the needle, fibers intertwine, shaping something both tangible and deeply personal. It is a process of patience and presence- a way to bring stories, emotions, and soul connections into being, one fiber at a time.
