CRIPPLE CREEK CREATIVE by Mikki Klug

Mikki has been an animal lover as far back as she can remember. She and her husband live on a ten acre
farm with four llamas, six cats and a dog; all of which were unwanted animals or strays.

"In 2004 I discovered felting in Teddy Bear and Friends magazine and thought this was something I'd really like to try.
Each felting reflects the love and attention I give my own animals, trying to give each creation
its own individual personality," she writes.

Mikki’s animals are felted from a variety of natural wools including wool from her own llamas. Buffalo,
alpaca, camel and angora. "This variety enables me to create unique and very detailed animals.
I love the freedom of felting, no patterns or rules, just start with a vision."
