Needle Felted Wool Sculptures
by Ingela Sakkestad
Handcrafted Wool Maidens, Angels, Mermaids and Animals created by Wool Artist Ingela Sakkestad by keeping the "Magic Needle" dancing over pure Wool and with a Song in her Heart.
Unique original Designs, partly inspired by the Waldorf philosophy and style and others by diverse world ethnic folklore, myths, legends and other classic and contemporary cultural heritage that surrounds us.
Needle felting is an ancient fiber art form which enables the artist to shape and form a complete sculpture within the palms of the hands with the help of a sharp barbed felting needle and pure sheep's wool. The possibilities are endless.
It's my pleasure to present here a variety of my felted wool sculptures for you to enjoy and to purchase as you wish. They make great gifts to show love and care for anyone who appreciates the aesthetic, the handcrafted and organically wholesome, but also the spiritual, wild and magical.
Many maidens and angels have hollow skirts or bottoms which makes them quite unique in the world of felting. Read more on the "About my Felt" page about this shape.
Commissioned work
You can contact me for commissioned custom made items for a specific purpose or according to your own specifications. Anything is possible when creative minds join forces. I love to create new felt inspired by people and events in my life. You may want to commission a sculpture to commemorate someone special or to honor someone in the family -- someone important to you or the community. It may also be a known fictional character or something from your imagination. You can send me a picture, a drawing or something to guide me in the creative process. The price will be determined beforehand and adjusted after the sculpture is finished to our mutual satisfaction before delivery. A down payment of 50% of the pre-set price is requested before the process of sculpting will begin.
