We want you to introduce to one
more etsy shop of the Lithuanian team, this time it's JurgaFeltLife. Here is short and
amazing movie about shop owner Jurga's hobby that turned into her work.
About the beginning shop owner
Jurga tells: my life as a feltmaker began when I became a mom. I fell in love
with felt in 2008 when my first son turned 3 months old. The love grew bigger
and bigger with every little thing I used to felt, with every piece of art I
found in books and magazines. Before that I worked as an architect in a small
company, later I understood I really need more freedom in my occupation, I
wanted to see my children growing. I wanted to do what I really loved to. This
was working with textile. This was felting.
My very first felt craft was a
pair of red slippers for myself: much better than I could have imagined.
Afterwards there was a bag with flying little butterflies, slippers for my
family and handbags for friends. Step by step I discovered more and more about
this old and amazing craft.
In all of Jurga's works there are
a feeling of nature. When we asked her about creation space, Jurga told us
about it: we live near a forest and a lake surrounded by wild meadows in summer
and magnificent snowdrifts in wintertime with only a few neighbours in the
distance.
I work at home. In the midst of
beautiful nature I feel so free and creative. I can't imagine myself working
alone. Kids, my little assistants, are running around and are always willing to
advise me on the selection of colours. My husband is also there with his free
sense of art and brilliant ideas. He is my number one quality controller. I
love working at home where I can feel free and comfortable.
