About Me
I work daily to create unique felt pieces that move me as well as having just plain fun making "gnomalicious " crafts and patterns. The materials I choose to work with are primarily natural textiles, fibers, hand dyed wool and felt. I try to look at life through children's eyes which truly "sparkle" an endless flow of creativity... I then run with it!
