Ebb and Felt is a place to share my needle felted sculptures created by me, Erin Brown. Definition of "ebb and flow": an idiom referring to the recurrent or rhythmical pattern of coming and going, or decline and regrowth; used to describe something that changes in a regular and repeated way. This fits perfectly with both the art of needle felting with the recurrent, rhythmic stabbing of the needle
, slowly tangling fibers over time causing change in a repeatable and shapeable way - AND in the rhythms of life itself. My passions have always found themselves revolving around art and nature, inspired by the beauty, diversity, and complexity of nature. I discovered that needle felting is a meditative artform that allows me to recreate the intricacy of animals and capture their essence. Whether I'm creating a favorite animal, bringing back an animal from extinction, preserving endangered species, forging a creature from fantasy, or helping someone memorialize their beloved pet, needle felting has allowed me the opportunity to make it all possible. My family farm, Nimbus Farm Alpacas, was the catalyst for my felting journey. It is because of the magnificent alpacas I raise, love, and care for every day that I am able to utilize their colorful, soft, and beautiful fiber in my needle felting creations. Portions of every purchase go back to my family's farm to help feed and care for the alpacas. You can see the alpacas here: https://www.facebook.com/nimbusfarmalpacas
