Bumble & Earwig first began in 2004. After graduating from art school, I came across the process of needle-felting online. I ordered some basic supplies and was hooked from the start! Around the same time, I began volunteering at a museum alongside anthropology and natural history collections. From that time, the two have been inextricably linked.

I continue to work amongst museum collections, where the antique taxidermy in particular is a huge source of inspiration. In needle-felting, I have found the perfect medium for me to express my love of animals.
