I specialize in Felted Tomtes and Gnomes, crafted with natural wool sourced from Sonoma, West Marin, and other parts of the USA. Many feature specialty locks and fabrics from Europe, with beards made from high-quality wool or silk locks. You'll also discover an array of other carefully created felted items, including charming mushrooms and elegant angels, all reflecting the same commitment to detail and superior craftsmanship. Some colors are hand-dyed, and I add lavender to my gnomes that is sourced from San Juan Island, Washington.
My focus is on delivering a product that not only delights but also embodies the highest standards of artistry and quality for you.
