Artist Feature: Vivan Robinson

Vivian Robinson is a needle felting artist who makes whimsical characters like cowboys and trolls with an amazing amount of detail.  She does this work from her home, getting her start after hearing about needle felting from another artist.

Her creations are made over a wire armature and wear hand sewn clothing.  She does this work from her home and uses Shetland wool that she hand dyes as necessary for each item.


This will be Vivian's first year at the Bizarre Bazaar and she is open to taking custom orders.  More of her work can be found at Kansas Originals or online in her VR Farms Needle Felted Creations Etsy shop.
