Time for another look at some of the great work featured in the forums at Craftster. Note: Although they’re the pick of this week, they may have appeared before this week.

That TARDIS pops up all over the craft world – we’ve featured it plenty of times over the years. Dessadoll gives us another one to add to the list with this needlefelted piece, featuring when the Pandorica opens!

See the original Craftster post here, and be sure to come back next week for another great pick from the forums!

Zoe Williams is a needle-felting artist currently working in New York. Her art is astonishing.

“I started needle felting in 2008; my first pieces were rabbits, inspired by an important dream I’d had. Later I began working on a series of pieces inspired by dream animals which culminated with my solo exhibition, Somnium Bestia, in 2010. I’ve always been a great animal lover, so I guess it’s natural that animal imagery would dominate my work. I’m also fascinated by dream symbolism and mythology, so I strive to incorporate all of these elements into my growing menagerie.

“I’m currently working on several new projects, including a series based on critically endangered or extinct creatures. Gold Rhino is one of these, inspired by the Western Black Rhino which was recently declared extinct. I’ve nicknamed them “unicorns” because to me the unicorn epitomizes the magical, precious, and rare.

“I have a couple of group shows coming up, one in Brooklyn, NY and one in Port Townsend, WA:

Hey, Beautiful!  Amos Eno Gallery, Brooklyn, NY, Feb. 1st – 25th, opening reception Thursday, Feb. 2nd - 

“The second show will be in March, and I believe the opening reception will be Saturday, March 3rd. This one will be a two person show at Artisans on Taylor Gallery in Port Townsend, WA.

Zoe’s work simply floors me. Thanks to fantastic artists like our very own Moxie, my eyes have been opened to the potential of needle felted art, and Zoe’s pieces exemplify how great this art can be. The construction of the pieces is amazing and the way the animals grow from the walls, expanding past their natural boundaries is inspirational. It reminds me of the first time I saw Melissa Sue Stanley’s creations busting out of their frames.

It is great to see how Zoe’s work has developed over the years and I wonder what will come next. How big can she take these works?! I’m excited to find out. Visit Zoe’s website to enjoy more of this amazing needle felted art.

That lava is so cute, I don’t think I’d mind being swallowed up in its fiery path.

On the other hand, maybe not.

Hi everybody! This week I wanted to show you the work of Miszek, who makes soft toys and needle felted figures.

You can see more from Miszek at his website and his etsy store. Great things await!

I’m pretty sure I saw one of these growing at the back of a fridge back in my student days… Nina Bolen aka EnchantmentsArt nails this needle-felted creature from Labyrinth.

Call her Angel Tan or Mariangela Tan or PlushPLAY, here is an artist who connects needle to wool in her own special way. Examples? Yes, here are those:

I like to imagine that this is what animal purgatory looks like:

You must look at the other photos of this Sextopus because he’s got a hat and six legs but also three faces!

This is called Krang, but it’s also probably what my brain looks like when I have to wait for more than 3 minutes for pretty much anything:

You can find so much more good, good poking by Angel Tan on her website as well as her flickr stream.
