One of the best needle felted animals you will ever see has to be by textile artist Rachel Austin. Better known on Instagram as TheWishingShed, she has just a bit more than 2k of followers yet obviously deserves much more. Fiddly work with tiny life-like creatures can take many hours to complete. It’s a passionate work and Rachel loves every second of it. Rachel shares: “I‘ve been needle felting for around 6 years now. One of the first animals I tried to make was a little mouse. Since then I’ve made literally hundreds of felted mice in all colours, shapes, and sizes! I thought it would be fun to dress some up as famous characters. I sewed the outfits from bits of scrap fabric, and sculpted tiny accessories from clay.” Visit artist’s etsy shop, Instagram, and Facebook.
