]]> Belarus artist Katerina Karavai began her artistic journey when she was only seven years old. Her first real interaction with art was in art school, and following her beginnings, she later received a diploma in fashion design.

“I was always interested in different types of needlework, but I had enough time only to create gifts for family and friends. It was embroidered ribbons and crosses, watercolor pictures, sewing toys, and frameless chairs,” Karavai shared in a statement on Etsy.

After working many years in a wedding salon and giving birth to her second child, Karavai wanted to do something different. That’s when she discovered wool painting.

“Using only wool and not a drop of glue, for five years, I have been helping people keep fond memories of their pets. First, I did the paintings for himself, then for friends, and after came the first order… And here I’m still in this process,” she added.

The artist also has an Instagram account where she posts images of her creations and an Etsy store where she shares her creativity, and if you want to decorate your home with one of her works, check her out, because “I put in my paintings a part of myself and my soul.”

]]> Moscow-based artist Natasya Shuljak creates woolen miniatures from felted fibers, and they’re the cutest things ever. They look like they could be characters from a children’s book which countless stories to tell. Many of the creatures have flower petals sprouting from their heads which only makes them cuter, almost as if they’re some mix between animals and plants.

Shuljak developed her style over the years and is now trying to find new ways to create felted creatures that don’t rely on tradition. “There is a lot of abstract in my work, and I want to enhance this feeling,” she told Colossal. She then added that she often finds inspiration in architecture and other art forms as well.

“These spheres are united by expressive language: the character of the line, rhythm, texture, color, etc,” the artist continued.

Shuljak doesn’t take orders but she sometimes updates her Etsy store with new sculptures for sale. You can follow her on Instagram where she has 90,000 followers if you’d like to see more of her art in the future.

After temporarily living in Iran, he enrolled at the Australian National University to study digital art. In 2004, he returned to Iran and has been living there ever since.

“We live in fragile times, and I feel the need to find new materials and the mindset to reinvent my practice,” Khoshroo tells This is Colossal. “Wool brings warmth and intimacy to these portraits and plays with provoking the nurture instinct.”

]]> Monica Henry is a self-taught textile artist based in Geelong, Australia who “moves some old time art into the modern world.” The idea to create her floral textile art came naturally; she culminates her skills in design and her family history of working in wool. In the past years, she has visited many countries, like the USA and Canada and has traveled extensively through Asia, where she was influenced by the Japanese culture.

To create her art pieces, she seeks inspiration from various textures, fabrics, botanical nature, and the movement of the threads. She merges a wide selection of different wools together with a range of stitches and techniques to create patterns, textures, levels, and contrast.

“My aim is to create art that is visually beautiful, capturing the viewers eye and pulling them into the artwork, with no real beginning or end to the piece,” the artist shared with Vernissage.
