Nastasya Shuljak, a Moscow-based textile artist, has a unique talent for transforming wool into a world of whimsy. Her needle-felted creatures, ranging from personified animals to smiling plants and vegetables, are more than just toys; they are “small lumps of joy” that seem to spring from an enchanted forest.
Shuljak’s childlike characters are inspired by her observations of colors and lines in nature, architecture, and classical art museums. Each creation is a playful felt critter that brings a sense of wonder and delight to all who encounter them.
