Over the last year I have become enamored with felt. Particularly in the winter, every coat, sweater, jacket and jumper is adorned with some felt creation. Once I discovered the most amazing felt store, Fieltros Olleros, I knew I was hooked (more to come on this "old-world" feeling store in upcoming posts). My work is unique for its' intense detail and that I use NO glue. Every piece is hand-stitched and takes between 4-6 hours to create. I love hand-sewing, and am currently playing around with embroidery.
My intention is, as with most craft bloggers, to have a creative open forum, not only for my work, but all things handmade (and especially handmade in Spain). I want to share the things that inspire me and the incredible work of others that I discover in my travels (more to come on the most incredible little Parisian boutique and Madrid Nomada Market).
For my day job I work at a bilingual public primary school--I adore my students, not only for their impressive English skills (at only 6 years old!), but for their energy and creativity as well. Everyday is filled with besos, abrazos and laughter!
Now that Spring has finally come, you can most likely find me sewing in the green and spacious Parque del Retiro! Thanks for visiting my blog, check back soon as I am just getting things going! Also, echate un vistazo to my Etsy page
