Eve O'Neill is a South London lass who now lives in West Wales making extraordinary needle felted sculptures using wool sourced from local farms. She likes to incorporate all kinds of found objects, from feathers and lichen to old nests and broken egg shell. Her work has been featured in many magazines, including Country Living and she was a featured artist on BBC Countryfile.
She trained as an artist at Camberwell School in London but when she moved to Wales she found herself surrounded by all that is best in the British countryside and has been inspired by her surroundings ever since. Once she had found wool and needlefelting she discovered her medium and never looked back.
Her work is very beautiful, with a lovely finish and you can find her at www.fforestfelt.co.uk, where more of her work can be seen in her gallery and you can shop. My mum has several of her birds and they are so life like that they make you stop in your track on first seeing them, wonderful work from a British artisan.
