My Story

Everything began with one small question:
“Can I make a bead out of wool?”

I’ve always had a curious mind — the kind that needs to try, explore, test, and push ideas a little further.
I first studied visual arts, which shaped my eye for color, composition, and handmade work.

Later, I discovered felting. Self-taught and passionate, I learned through videos, online courses, and years of experimenting.
Curiosity is still at the heart of everything I create.

What I love about wool is its endless possibility.
You could spend a lifetime experimenting with it — and still have new ideas.
Felting is a form of sculpture that lets you create tiny or large shapes, in 2D or 3D, whether they’re practical or decorative.

I also love that felting has existed for thousands of years.
It feels meaningful to carry this ancient craft forward and keep it alive in my own way.

Why Wool

I work mainly with merino wool for its softness, comfort, and strength.
With needle felting, I sculpt precise, compact shapes.
With wet felting, the fibers shrink and lock into place, tightening and refining the shape — creating jewelry that’s feather-light, soft, and durable.

Wool is magical — gentle, natural, and biodegradable.
And it makes me happy to know that my work is made with a material that can return to the Earth someday.

My Artistic Style

My style is soft, romantic, and natural.
Precise yet delicate.
Expressive yet gentle.
Comfortable yet elegant.
A blend of contrasts that always find harmony — just like nature itself.
