For most of my life, I have enjoyed creativity and making something with my own hands. I have developed a keen interest in crochet, painting and sewing. But when I tried wool, I fell in love with it and couldn't stop.
I have been a felt artist for about two years since arriving in the UK from Ukraine. I was inspired by a local artist and very kind woman, Kate Westcott. When I got into needle felting, I realized how great and forgivable wool is. You can make whatever you want in any shape or mood. Being a self-taught artist, it takes me some time to figure out how to tackle each project.
The creative processes assists me in overcoming my anxieties regarding my homeland, Ukraine. Also it helps me to acclimatise to a new culture. It is extremely therapeutic and greatly assists me.
This year (2024), I tried using a wool blend felt for making flowers for my wreaths with robins. I think my wool designs work well together and have some plans to complete more projects. Creating art makes me happy and energetic every day.
