Kay Petal is a sculptural needle felt artist from Alaska who specializes in soft-sculpted lifelike dolls with a focus on celebrity caricatures.
Kay
Petal discovered needle felting in 2007 when she was recovering from
cancer. After surviving from a rare cancer Petal became keenly aware of
the need to stop giving in to the mundane things in life and find that
thing she is truly passionate about. When she purchased a book by a
pioneer of needle felting, Birgitte Krag Hansen, she discovered what she
really wanted to do.
Kay Petal’s Felt
Alive dolls are fully jointed, solid felted wool and require no sewing,
no stuffing, no painting, no knitting or crocheting, no patterns and no
wire armatures. Her work has been featured in numerous magazines and has
been getting accolades in the blogosphere.
