I’ve heard of sewing and embroidery, knitting and crochet - I’ve even tried my hand at a few of the aforementioned crafts. (Didn’t your grandmother enforce the “you should know how to mend, sew a button and knit a scarf” rule, too?) But felting is new to me.

I've been delighted by Etsy's  Made by Moxie, one sassy and inspired artist known for her needle felted art. She explains her craft as the “…process of turning wool fiber into felt using barbed needles that force the fiber to attach to itself.” Luckily, I don’t need to understand the how in order to enjoy the what.

Check out her rings and bracelets and finger puppets and necklaces. If you ever needed a reason to smile, look no further than the mod pendant I'm ordering in orange ($28).
