Adornment Taiana

I instantly wanted to wrap myself in one and haunt the moors, or move to an adobe homestead in Taos. Taiana is truly an artisan spending sometimes two weeks on the ancient process of felting wool. She uses only Merino sheep wool, and olive oil. Although now she lives in New York and works with big fashion houses, she is a California native and maintains her artistic purity. She also crafts beautiful father earrings. A wood nymph indeed . . .A mini-interview with the wood nymph herself:

2)How did you lean the craft of felting?My aunt and her good friend in Frankfurt taught me. We had a two day course for fun together where i learned the basically techniques Of felting. The rest has all been self discovery.
