needle felted cat  Maya Maeda

Here are a few needle felted animals from Maya Maeda, a needle felting artist who has been working with wooly fibre for only a few years and makes very life-like felted animals. Maya also makes felted vertions of your beloved pet. I love the way these cats look up at you it is very engaging. I look forward to seeing the next creation on Maya's facebook page And we have a few more of her animals in our gallery.
