Janice is an established Needle Felting animal sculptor in Northern California. She has been sculpting for almost 8yrs. Capturing a pets expressions and looks, is what her needle felt wool sculpting is all about. It’s a joy for her to hear from her customers after they’ve received their sculptured mini pets. This is especially true for those who have lost a dear furry family member. Many say they feel a comfort as they can now see and remember them. She makes her animals and fantasy sculptures from pictures sent to her. Others are made from sheer imagination. She uses no patterns, just her felt and needles…and lots of patience and love. Janice uses wire armature, fine wool fibers, glass eyes and clay noses to give life to her sculptures. Some of her favorite wool for curls are Japanese Hamanaka “curly” wool from The Felted Desert.  "I separate the wool and it leaves me with perfect wool curls for my poodles and lambs. I also use it for under curl, for my animals that just need a little texture. The Hamanaka Merino wool also from The Felted Desert, is the perfect texture for so many of my other animals and their clothing." Janice has a shop on Etsy where she sells her sculptures and art called InjanusArts
