GIFTS AND TRINKETS
Offering a variety of gifts and goodies suitable for any budget. From keyrings, mini pocket sized sculptures and intricate jewellery to large statement sculptural pieces for the home. One of the joys of buying pieces made by hand is that you can guarantee your purchase will have its own unique qualities, perfect for a more special, personal prezzie.
These mini pieces mostly fit nicely in the palm of a hand, and are often inspired by chats with market stall visitors or suggestion from my social media community. While the animal-based theme has proved most popular over the years, really anything goes when it comes to needle felting - the possibilities are truly endless which is what makes it such a delightful craft to work with. You can keep up with new work by following the Thimblu social media pages, or head to the Thimblu Etsy shop to see what's currently in stock.
PET PORTRAITS & COMMISSIONS
For most of the year I specialise in needle felted pet portraits. This involves working with photos and close communication with my customers to produce three-dimensional, semi-realistic sculptures of their pets. I create these in three different sizes, 2.5”, 4” and 6”, to allow for a range of price options for my customers. I work hard to keep my prices as affordable as possible and strive to create the possibility of a personal one-of-a-kind artwork fit for any home or budget. There is no set limit to the editing process either, as I insist my customers are entirely in love with their pet portrait before I box it up and send it off to its new home.
I also heartily welcome any discussion of non pet based commission, however weird and wonderful it may seem. A couple of my favourite alternative commissions over the years have been wedding cake toppers and play food for a toddler's play kitchen. Get in touch if you have an idea which you think could look great in wool and I'll see what I can do for you.
