Funky's Fiber Artist Spotlight on Ingermaaike! A fellow feltmaker and Etsy seller!

I've resolved to start highlighting some of my fellow fiber artists on a regular basis. There are just so many talented feltmakers that I've come across during my time on the internet. It would be a shame not to share some of them with you along with their wonderful shop links.

I first came across Ingermaaike through her flickr account several months ago now. Inger, a feltmaker from the Netherlands, has a wide array of images from finished items to her in action during the feltmaking process posted on flickr. Recently, it was her "Triple lips" vessel on flickr that really caught my eye. It is an amazing wet felted piece so be sure to check out its link above. I was pleasantly surprised to find that she has an Etsy shop too! It is filled with her colorful scarves, animal creations, and a variety of other things including the elegant yet adorable baby booties in the featured photo. You can find out much more about Inger and see more of her gorgeous felts on her website. I highly recommend that you take a moment to browse all of her sites for inspiration and some great felted eye candy!

Funky's Fiber Artist Spotlight on Lana de Flor! A fellow feltmaker and Etsy seller!

I've resolved to start highlighting some of my fellow fiber artists on a regular basis. There are just so many talented feltmakers that I've come across during my time on the internet. It would be a shame not to share some of them with you along with their wonderful shop links.

The Etsy shop Lana de Flor belongs to a lovely lady from Wooster, Ohio. She's a talented and innovative feltmaker who I've been blessed to have met through Etsy. Her shop name roughly translated means "flower wool" or "wool of flower" - this is very fitting as I have long admired her brightly colored, realistic flower pins, a staple of her diverse online shop. Recently she has branched out to include a some wonderful scarf and wrist cuff designs. You can see one of her corded cuffs in the main photo. It is a favorite of mine!

I highly recommend that you go browse her entire Etsy shop, lanadeflor.etsy.com, for inspiration. Oh, and don't forget to buy one of her very unique felted accessories too. What a great way to accent your Spring wardrobe!
