]]>Using wool and needle, Kel creates realistic felted mice that will overwhelm you with cuteness thanks to their big eyes and floppy ears. They are also dressed in custom-made whimsical outfits to highlight their personalities and give off Stuart Little vibes.
In her work, Kel uses natural materials sourced from a local farm as part of her efforts to promote sustainability. It can take up to 20 hours for her to finish a single felted mouse piece, but according to the artist, it is all worth it.
“Each time I create a felted creature, it brings me a sense of peace, and it’s my hope that they bring that same whimsical joy to others,” Kel shares on her website.
Kel frequently shares her newest works on social media while also making them available for purchase through different webshops. More than a hundred of her felted mice, with each one being a unique creation, have found new homes around the world.

]]>Sachi, who originally worked as an advertising illustrator, discovered needle felting during a visit to a handicraft shop in 2015. Living with “deeply-beloved” three ex-stray cats, the artist decided to turn to felines as subjects of her early felting projects.
Initially, Sachi made full-body felted cats but soon discovered that creating cat faces brought her the most joy. Eventually, she started creating cat busts, and the idea of felted cat portraits was born.
After her works captured the attention of social media users, Sachi started receiving commissions from people who wanted her to make busts of their cats. This prompted her to create a felting studio, “Wakuneco,” which translates to “Frame Cats.”
“My needle felted cats may be just ornament. However, I believe making that one especially for someone and his/her beloved cat can make it more than an ornament and even a priceless and irreplaceable treasure. Making needle felted portraits of deeply-beloved cats, this is a grest pleasure and happiness for me, “Sachi shares on her website.
