Olha and Hanna Dovhan (previously) are the creative minds behind the adorable felt sculptures of Manooni. Whimsical and endlessly cheerful, the small family units, pairs of pears, and coupled avocados are needle felted with wool and finished with tiny grins. Based in Ukraine, the Dovhans have spent the majority of the war in Lviv, although their mother, who is also part of the Manooni team, remains with family members in the now Russia-occupied Zaporizhzhia region.

Working out of her studio in Melbourne, textile artist Cat Rabbit (previously) felts a quirky troupe of characters complete with distinctive garb and accessories. A croissant-headed figure dons a striped skirt and floral hat, Pomeranians carry pin cushions on their backs, and four swaggering poodles outfitted with roller skates appear ready to compete in the rink. Some of the anthropomorphized creatures are particularly personal to the artist, like the blanket-enshrouded toad (shown below) that was inspired by a friend’s love for the children’s series, Frog and Toad.

This is Jean Luc, a debonair goose wearing a French sailor shirt, a beret and a dashing scarf. He is a wonderful little guy to give as a gift, to a daughter, granddaughter or niece, or to keep for yourself. He will always bring a smile to everyone! On a child's bookshelf, keeping guard over beloved classics and picture books, on a mantel by a vase of flowers, or among a display of beloved collectibles. He is of heirloom quality and will be enjoyed for years! He will arrive in a Kraft gift box, nestled in tissue, tied with baker's twine with a wooden cranberry. My clients have told me they love opening that box to see their little fellow peaking up at them! I love what I do,and try to share my excitement and respect for the art of handmade with everyone. Each of my animals is designed and handmade from scratch by my two hands in my smoke and pet free home based workshop in Michigan. Needle felting is the art of taking unspun wool roving, and poking it thousands of times with a special barbed needle to firm and sculpt it. He is 4 inches, ( 10 cm) tall. He has a wire armature within, so he is gently posable. His eyes are glass. Please keep in mind that he is an artist handmade collectible, and is not suitable for children under eight years of age, or pets. I will ship him in 7 to 10 business days.

Artist Paolo Del Toro uses needle felting to create massive masks and sculptures out of wool and foam. His creations depict mythical faces in expressions that range from grotesque grimaces to contemplative introspection; all of his works feature open mouths. While Del Toro’s work is not tied to any particular cultural visual heritage, the shifting personalities of his characters are reminiscent of Japanese Noh theater masks, which are designed to show different emotions from different angles.

I don’t know about you, but me and my inner child really needed this today. We’re looking at the work of Cat Rabbit, the creation of a Melbourne-based textile artist who’s…

Morteza Zahedi Cats seem to be everywhere these days. After I wake up in the morning with my cat 's bum on my face, many feline faces invariably greet me as I sip my coffee while browsing through my facebook wall and pinterest. At the other side of the room, Seba is at work creating the cats for his 2013 calendar. Right now, Chapi sits on my tablet licking himself as I try to find a way around him to write these words. What can I do? I am powerless against his charm.Yes, felines can be addictive. Often, when artists start portraying them, they seem to find it difficult to stop... Here is my contribution to the madness.

Okay, so I've become a little obsessed with needle felting. I don't do it. I don't have the skills; so I'm very impressed with the people who do.
