My name’s Syd, and I’m the head, hands, and heart behind Teeny Beasties.
I’m a Canadian fibre artist, living on the West Coast with my little family and huge collection of wool.
I love making quirky, one of a kind art and home decor out of the infinitely versatile and astonishingly renewable resource that is sheep’s wool: bright colours, soft textures, and a world of possibilities.
What is Needle Felting?
- Sustainable
- Biodegradable
- Lightweight
- Textural
- Beautiful
I use specialized, barbed needles to mat and compact dyed animal fibres, creating a satisfyingly squishy soft sculpture.
I use only ethically sourced Canadian and New Zealand sheep’s wool that has been dyed using eco-friendly methods, making Teeny Beasties something that you can feel good about.
