Living and working in UK, the needle felter has recently created a beautiful sculpture of the mythical Pegasus using her child-like imagination.

“I couldn’t wait to get started. I’d not long had negative thoughts flying about in my head over my latest creations and I knew I needed to make this the best piece of art I could muster,” the artist shared on Bored Panda. “I knew I couldn’t set myself a time limit or rush it. I was prepared to make several mistakes. Luckily, there were only a few, and they were easier to fix than I thought.”

McFadden says she needed four weeks to finish her masterpiece and while creating it, she managed to manifest all her feelings into the Pegasus which she named ‘Poseidon’s Prince’ due to Pegasus being the son of Poseidon in Greek mythology.

Claudia Marie Lenart is an artist who worked with big brand names like Tiffany & Co. and Mociun. According to her bio, she has been a handwork artist since she was a little girl. She inherited her mom’s passion for sewing, crochet, knitting, and embroidery.

Lenart says she was a little bit rebellious and didn’t like to follow patterns, so she would make up her own designs for doll clothes and embroidery. However, many years later, she discovered needle felting and became a true expert.

“I love nature, adore animals and enjoy spending time in the woods,” the artist wrote on her personal website. “My wool animals are inspired by those I observe in nature. I also spend countless hours studying photographs of animals from every angle. This has helped me create a sense of realism in my needle felt animals.”

She is also an author and a book illustrator who uses a variety of techniques like needle felting, wet felting and pressed wool painting to create her illustrations.
