Needle felting is the art of using barbed needles to sculpt wool roving into an infinite variety of shapes and forms. Owl Song Feltery creates botanicals out of wool. Owl Song Feltery was started by Mia Simonsen in 2024 and is located in Cheney, Wa. Cactus and succulents were Mia’s first botanicals of choice, and she has since added mushrooms and other fungi to her feltery. Growing up in North Idaho gave Mia plenty of chances to fall in love with the outdoors, a passion that continues to influence her art today. She has long been obsessed with growing things and has been an avid gardener for the past 30 years and a florist for the past 6 years. Needle felting allows Mia to design with botanicals year-round. From picking the shape and colors of a new project to finding just the right vintage container to showcase the finished form, the entire process offers her endless possibilities. Mia also values the joy and whimsy “feltanicals” bring to this world. Yes, that’s a word she made up to describe her art! Her realistic sculptures bring delight in a way unique to Owl Song Feltery.
