Moxie is a cat-owning, pinball-playing, book-writing, kit-making fiber artist with a wit as sharp as her signature tool, the felting needle. Her art is beautifully executed, emotionally provocative, and has been featured in galleries across the country. Her designs make people say, “What is that? i have to touch it.”

She began needle felting in August 2006, and she posts her work online, teaches felting, and instructs the masses at Maker Faire. After almost every lesson people ask, “Where can I find these materials?”

Moxie realized that in order to turn people on to needle felting, she would first have to provide the proper materials. Her supplies consist of high-quality wool batting, eco-foam pads, and felting needles, plus she adds a creative spin, using everything from cookie bags to Frappuccino cups as packaging, and sprinkles some irreverence into her clear instructions.

Moxie makes kits because she genuinely wants people to have as much fun as she does needle felting.
