ST. GEORGE — From realistic wildlife displays to mystical dragons, one woman is sculpting art out of wool. And chances are, you've never seen anything like it before.
"It's what I call wool sculpting," Debbie Hussey, owner of Deb Hussey Creations, told St. George News. "Because that's what you're doing — sculpting with wool and painting with wool. And I just love making animals, they're my favorite thing in the world."
Hussey said while felting has been around for a long time, the art of needle felting is fairly new and started in the early-80s.
Raised by a mother who was a professional seamstress, Hussey said she didn't love sewing clothing herself. Instead, she loved making stuffed animals. While living in Northern California, she transitioned from making stuffed animals to crocheting them.
