I am Mia Simonsen and I started Owl Song Feltery in 2024. Owl Song Feltery creates botanicals out of needle felted wool. Needle felting is the art of using barbed needles to sculpt wool roving into an infinite variety of shapes and forms. Cactus and succulents were my first botanicals of choice, and I have since added mushrooms and other plants to my feltery. Growing up in North Idaho gave me plenty of chances to fall in love with the outdoors, a passion that continues to influence my art today. I have long been obsessed with growing things. I have been an avid gardener for the past 30 years and a florist for the past 7 years. My style of felting allows me to design with botanicals year-round. I love picking the shape and colors of a new project and finding just the right vintage container to showcase the finished sculpture. I also value the joy and whimsy “feltanicals” bring to this world. Yes, that’s a word I made up to describe my art! These realistic sculptures bring delight in a way unique to Owl Song Feltery.
