FeltUA – Olena Vinokurova, Ukraine

Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/FeltUA

 

I have a felting business and have been selling on Etsy for 7 years. I create unique and practical pieces from top-notch wool and silk, mostly scarves and shawls.

Without a doubt, my biggest challenge right now is electricity shortages in my town in Lviv, Ukraine.

I would love for more people to discover the pleasure of making and using felted things in general. Perhaps, Artizan Made can have a couple of my tutorials on the site.  This would help me tremendously, and spread the word about felting.

What I love the most about what I do:

My favourite thing is to collect the highest quality materials from all over the world.  In my small workshop, I have treasures: silk from Uzbekistan, Australian wool, fibers from Italy, Bulgarian carded wool, precious muga silk fibers …

After that – the magic begins…

Time flies when I felt, so shortly after starting… The shawl, which I can’t wait to share with the world, is created.

Five Year Goal:

My dream is to live in a free Ukraine. I want to make it stronger and more beautiful with my art.
