Hello, my name’s Michelle and I live in the UK.
I love drawing and making things, and at the moment I’m very into needle-felting, a craft I discovered through Etsy. I love the feel of the soft merino wool, and there’s something magical about how solid shapes appear from bundles of fluff.
I’ve made things ever since I was little – my mum kept everything from empty loo-roll tubes to silver paper from Easter eggs all carefully sorted and labelled in boxes in a huge cupboard at the end of a passage in our bungalow (we called it The End Cupboard!) so there was always an endless source of crafty materials to fuel my imagination. I’ve always drawn too (some of my earliest works are now sadly lost as they were on the wall by my bed…) but it wasn’t until the late 1990s whilst I was living in Iceland and helping out in a handmade gift shop in my spare time that someone suggested I tried selling my drawings there, and stupidcats were born!
Here’s my Etsy shop…
…and you can also find stupidcats on Facebook, Twitter and on a blog too.
I also have an online portfolio of other artwork here.
When I’m not working, drawing or needle-felting, I write – my alter ego writer-self has a blog here.
Sadly, our household is currently cat-less as our dear little Oscar was hit by a nasty car in summer
We’re working ourselves up to getting another, but it’s not quite time yet…
