feltmaking

I make things from the stuff you might throw away. I love old books, fabric, wool, buttons, lace, beads…… anything really. I have a magpie mind! I love to find a new use for the things we consider as junk. I hope to give recycled materials the chance to function again as useful and beautiful objects.
I use discarded books, jumble sale finds, thrifted clothes and other items to make a variety of things. 

Reduce, reuse, recycle ……. rejoice, relax, really enjoy your life!
