Alena Bobrova, a talented Russian craftswoman from Kirovsk, has a unique passion for bringing mythical creatures to life through the art of felting. Specializing in the creation of legendary dragons, Bobrova’s work is a testament to her skill and creativity. She crafts these fairy fantasy beasts using her favorite materials: wool, natural gems, and seashells, which give each dragon its own distinctive character and charm.
Bobrova’s approach to her craft is intuitive and spontaneous. As she works with wool, the final form of each creature is a surprise even to her, emerging with its own individual personality. Her inspiration is drawn from the wildness of nature, which is vividly reflected in the intricate details and the organic feel of her felt sculptures.
I like to create fairy fantasy beasts from my favorite materials: wool, natural gems and seashells. When I take a wool in my hands I can’t predict what creature I will get as a result. They are all individual and have their own character. And they exactly know what form they wish to be born. My inspiration comes from the wild nature.
