The original photo of Steve McCurry in National Geographic is mesmerising. The look in her eyes and the colour he captured is simply beautiful, I created this wool picture only using wet felting techniques.

My name is Aelita and I have been an Editor for Bored Panda since 2019. I spend my days working with my amazing team and making articles the best they can be.

Fantasy and magic have always ruled over my world, from movies to TV shows, to Video Games to tabletop games like Dungeos and Dragons, I try to find magic in every part of my life. Writing is a big part of me too, I hope to publish a fantasy novel one day. I also enjoy playing guitar and singing, as music always help me to get in a great mood.

I have an adorable German Shepherd named Hela and we get into all kinds of adventures together.
