This Artist Creates Animals In Carded Wool That Seem Alive: Here Are Her Most Beautiful Works .

Anna Yastrezhembovskaya knew about carded wool games when she was a young mother of two small children: she saw dolls with incredibly realistic features, but at first, she did not even know the name of the material from which they were made.

While doing some research, she discovered that it was carded wool: the first doll Anna tried to make was unsuccessful, but the creation process had convinced her. With a lot of practice, Anna has become a true expert and creates carded wool animals that look like they’re real.

Among his most famous creations is this adorable bat.

It was from this bat that a curious anecdote was born: the girl had asked Anna to make her a bat to put in her hair like pliers, but in the end, the two had decided to create a kind plush.

Anna posted the completed bat on her Instagram page , however, clarifying that it was not for sale: it was an experience and it could not yet be ordered. The photos of the small mammal were very popular, but a few days later Anna found numerous messages from people insulting her for pocketing money without sending the goods.

Anna, unrelated to the story, didn’t know what to say; by reading the messages, she was able to reconstruct what had happened. Someone fooled Internet users, by selling the carded wool bats in his name for $ 19.99, without his consent and without ever sending the stuffed animals since his daughters was a unique piece.

Unfortunately, Anna struggled to explain to the hundreds of people that she was foreign to this fraud and that even, she had made it clear in the post that the bat was not for sale.

In addition, Anna adds that she could never have sold one of her creations for just $ 19.99: the bat, along with all the other woolen animals she creates, took 10 days and 12- 14 hours of work !

An unfortunate event for the talented Anna who, despite everything, continues to create entirely handmade animals which are then sold on social networks: many are interested in her animals, especially her birds, which in fact “stole ” around the world.

Carded wool is the material with which you can create puppets: the latest fashion is to make them incredibly realistic, so much so that Anna very often had to specify that they were animals in wool and not real animals.

The wool is felted using special needles and hooks: it is meticulous work, which requires a lot of patience, especially if the goal is to make something realistic.

Anna is madly in love with this technique: from what she says, it is an activity that takes up a lot of her time, even at night . In fact, recently, she had to hand over the management of social media to her sister, given the growing number of requests from people who want Anna’s creation at all costs.

Here are some of his other carded wool works: can you believe these aren’t real animals?
