The post These Adorable Felted Creatures are Pure Joy appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>Shulyak has been working with wool, using both dry and wet felting techniques for more than a decade now. It all began when she received a set of colored wool as a New Year’s gift from her friends. She decided to give felting a go and immediately liked it.
According to Shulyak, one of the reasons she enjoys expressing her creativity with wool is the endless possibilities that the material offers. Another was the reactions of people when they met her felted creations.
“I saw a childish resounding happiness in an adult holding in his hands what I had done,” Shulyak explains on her website. “Until now, it touches me, causes surprise and peace.”
The artist also shares that the inspiration for her felted creatures comes from the beautiful nature in her current home of Sakartvello, Georgia.
“At every turn, bizarre plants lie in wait for me, which inspire me to create new funny woolen babies,” she adds.

]]>Born in France and now based in sunny Los Angeles, Fleury is an illustrator, prop stylist, and paper artist. A true color lover if we’ve ever seen one, she’s known for her eye-popping paper vignettes and three-dimensional paper sculptures. “I like to transform bright and flat sheets of paper into three-dimensional illustrations and displays,” said Fleury in an interview with Refinery29.
Describing her work as “colorful and fun”, she admits to letting color guide her when it comes to her playful creations. “Colors make me happy,” says Fleury. “I really love all the colors and it really depends on my mood. Some days I am more blue, some I am more pink or orange. Let’s just say I am really into neon colors lately—and turquoise!”
Her second great love is arts and crafts, or more specifically: making things with her own hands. “I’ve always loved making things with my hands,” she shared. “Later, I discovered stop-motion animation, and the part I loved the most in the process of making a short movie was to create the decors and little worlds.
Her projects can last anything between a day or two, and up to a full month for a short animation piece. Choosing the right materials is also important in Fleury’s line of work. “I’ve spent a lot of time finding the paper that I like, that is not too thick or too thin, easy to fold and curve,” she notes. “Same goes for the tools I use and the glue. It is important for me to use materials I feel comfortable with in order to be more detailed in my work. I am very meticulous.”

]]>Sanghe originally started carving chalk as a way to pass the time and satisfy his artistic impulse. He would make simple shapes or carve friends’ names as gifts. But after a while, he wanted to challenge himself with a more complex project that included craving human faces or making sculptures by combining several chalks.
Through the years, Sanghe became so skillful at chalk carving that he could capture the Statue of Liberty or Tom and Jerry in the slightest of details.
What makes Sanghe’s works even more impressive is that he doesn’t use any special tools like magnifying glasses. He does it all with the naked eye, even if it takes him between six and eight hours to finish a single piece. And it appears that he never has a problem with finding inspiration.
“I’m self-inspired,” he shared in a recent interview. “My last artwork will inspire me to do my next with much more precision and perfection.”

]]>Guzman started her journey as a ceramic artist back in 2016 when she decided to try her luck in the pottery business and establish a studio in her apartment. She worked on her skills while also looking for ways to get people interested in her products. As it turned out, the latter wasn’t all that tough as Guzman was natural and her small-batch releases would quickly sell out.
As her business grew, Guzman was also growing as an artist. She started experimenting with various designs and at one point found herself focusing on the handles of her ceramic pieces. This led to the creation of exciting new collections that featured organic shapes with whimsical handles.
These collections brought Guzman more exposure and even caught the attention of interior designers for Showtime’s variety series Ziwe. They contacted her and this led to one of her pieces even making the set of the show. This inspired her to continue working even harder and she currently has several new projects lined up. In the meantime, let’s check out more of her works below.

]]>The post Curious Ceramic Figurines by Sophie Woodrow appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>This talented Bristol-based artist creates curious ceramic figurines that are nothing like you’ve seen before. Her porcelain creatures are often on the surreal side, having animal and human-like features with the addition of fantasy elements.
According to Woodrow, her captivating works are inspired by “the contact point between the natural world and human culture.”
“I am fascinated by the representations that people have made of animals throughout the ages, what they say about them and their times, their sense of themselves in the world, their strengths and vulnerabilities,” she explains.
Woodrow has been creating in various media over the years. However, clay was always her main focus, and this fascination prompted her to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Ceramics at Falmouth College of Art. While influenced by many contemporary and classic artists, she always strived to develop her own style, which is evident in her ceramic figurines.
Woodrow’s pieces often find homes in private collections and art galleries. She also frequently shares her newest creations on Instagram. Check out more of them below.

]]>The romantic flower images are done in long and short stitching; which technique the talented embroiderer Trish Burr uses. Although she doesn’t have an artistic background, she starts her process by creating a sketch on a piece of paper and brainstorming through the color palette. Then, she traces the drawing in Photoshop, prints it, and thinks through the whole plan of how to stitch it.
Amina is also known for her remarkable guided classes and sheets. While she makes her artwork, she takes pictures of the whole process, which is important for PDF patterns. Although it makes the process twice slower, she doesn’t care because her goal is to make detailed instructions.
“I like to compare embroidery with a mountain range. For example, let’s say you like surface embroidery. This becomes your mountain which you climb little by little, step by step. But as soon as you top it, you see many other mountains waiting for you,” Amina said in an interview for Embellished Talk.

]]>But what began as a challenge grew into a booming business with over 100K followers. In fact, Symons quit his 9-to-5 job as a website developer and is now committed to being a paper artist.
“Instagram is a platform that, if used correctly, you can connect with thousands of people around the world,” explains Symons. “Without Instagram, I would not be able to do what I do for a living,” he admits. “I connected with many people who folded paper and then eventually with people that I did work with. It is now my main marketing channel.”
Based in Cape Town, South Africa, his brand White on Rice is centered around the ancient Japanese art, creating social media content for brands and private clients, origami commissions, origami installations, and even stop motion animation.
His process includes a lot of research and planning beforehand. “I would start by finding reference images of what other origami artists have folded and see what I can use in my design,” he recalled in the interview. “I’d then take a sheet and (I’ve only recently started getting into this) plot out where I want to put the wings, beak, legs, etc.”
Birds are a common theme throughout his work, but also other animals and insects such as butterflies, rabbits, and even dinosaurs. Take a look at some of his recent projects in the gallery below and follow him on Instagram for more.

]]>Sculptor Marco Martlar visited the most affected areas once the government cleaned the destroyed trees and discovered that a lot of wood was still lying there, including roots, branches, and other wooden debris. So he started collecting some and realized he could salvage it using the fallen wood to make sculptures.
“I like to think -that everything can take on new life and be always in transformation,” Martalar explained in a recent interview with I’Altopiano. “The destruction brought by Vaia was a blow to the heart, but then it made me want to get something good out of this disastrous event or find something beautiful in it somehow.”
Martlar first intended to make a sculpture of a cat, but the abundance of material prompted him to transition to a large-scale project. This resulted in an impressive sculpture of a lion standing at the top of the hill.
After receiving overwhelmingly positive reactions, Martlar created other grandiose works from the same material, including a dragon and a rooster, and intends to use waste wood in the future exclusively. Check out more of his works below.

]]>The self-taught crafter first started crocheting in 2019, but only in 2021 got really into it. She began making amigurumis: miniature figurines; designing them and creating her patterns, doing commissions only for friends and family. But thanks to her husband’s support, Yuen got the courage to start her small business.
Scrolling through her cute Instagram account, you can find animal and food figurines, little dolls inspired by movies and cartoons, people, and more. The crafter explained on her social media that she needs one hour to 12 hours to complete each toy, depending on the complexity.
Because of the pain in her wrist, Yuen decided she would crochet every other day. Meanwhile, on the days in between, she draws new designs, does admin stuff, finances, marketing, and socials.

]]>Inspired by her love of plants and animals, Elaine’s creations reflect her fascination with the shapes, lines, colors, and movement found in nature. Using no template or prior sketching, Elaine hand-cuts her designs into the layers of wrapping tissue paper. She then gently applies and seals her designs onto heavy hot press watercolor paper.
“I’m drawn to the bold contrast between the saturated colors of the tissue paper and the bright white background upon which they are adhered,” she notes on her website. With many of her pieces containing intricate hand-cut designs, completing one single piece can take Elaine anywhere from a few hours to a few days.
“Because I don’t draw my designs before cutting them, sometimes it can take a few tries to create the perfect shape or form that I’m looking for, whether it be a flower, insect, or giraffe.”
According to Elaine, she often has only a vague idea of what she wants to make when, which means that sometimes the end result is vastly different from what she originally had in mind.
“My love of animals and color is unabashedly on display in my pieces,” she adds. “And I hope they bring you as much joy when you view them as it brings me to create them.”
