The post Lindsey Thomas is Needle Felting Quirky Animal Characters appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Thomas works from her home studio in London, after getting a degree in illustration from Middlesex University in 2012. Even during her time at the university, Thomas was more interested in mixed media art, and needle-felting allowed her to explore it further.
“It wasn’t until afterwards that I discovered fibre art and the wonderful ability of wool to make my illustrated characters three-dimensional… As a child, I was forever drawing animals and imagining what they would be like if they could peel themselves from the paper. Now I know!” explains Thomas on her official website.
The process of needle felting involves stabbing at wool and catching fibers with needles from industrial felt-making machines. Once that’s done, the wool is transformed into all sorts of three-dimensional figures—quirky animals, in Thomas’ case.
Thomas finds joy in transforming a pile of fluff into animals that she summons from her mind. Her creations take shape of everything from cats and dogs to birds, bears, and even dinosaurs. In addition to making greeting cards with her quirky characters, she also served as the illustrator of the children’s book Dieses Buch ist LEER.

]]>And, for Rachel Austin, that hobby would be needle felting.
Having been needle felting for roughly around 6 years, Rachel Austin has created a lot of nifty things. But, she says that one of the favorite things to make are little mice, which also is, coincidentally, one of the first animals she ever made.
Because of her love for little mice, Rachel has created hundreds of needle felted mice, all in different shapes, sizes, and colors.
One day though, Rachel thought that it might be a good idea to do something different to her needle felted mice. So, she decided to dress them up as popular characters, and the results? They are as adorable and cute as you might think a mouse dressed as Batman or Mozart could be.
