From my hands to your heart, I create lifelike wool sculptures, inspired by nature and handcrafted with care and passion.

Motivated by the challenge of achieving true realism, I continually experiment with techniques and materials. Through this process, I bring each bird to life, capturing not only their form but also their spirit.

I carefully handcraft all my needle felted birds using ethically sourced wool and fibres, and I create each beak and foot by hand..

“Cheeky”

 

Feathered in felt and full of mischief, this blue tit carries the colour of a summer sky.

Testimonials

After seeing Joan’s work at the Jetty Gallery in Oban we contacted Joan and asked if she could make me a Chaffinch. My Chaffinch is amazing and arrived beautifully packaged. Joan remained in contact throughout and also sent photos of progress. Joan’s work is  outstanding and my Chaffinch has already received comments/compliments on how realistic it is.
