I am a needle felt artist from a small village on the Northumbrian coast in the UK surrounded by castles, cats and copious amounts of tea.

I find old, beaten up, heavily used brushes that nobody would look twice at and bring them back to life with tiny animals stabbed to life with wool, creating whimsical pieces filled with life, curiosity, and danger.

When I was in the Navy, this type of brush was commonly referred to as a "foxtail." Quite appropriate.

    This artist should be doing animation for Wes Anderson. Reminds me of The Fantastic Mr. Fox or Isle of Dogs.
