Cute doesn’t even begin to describe Yulia Derevschikova’s “furry” creations!
Videos by InspireMore
The artist from Khabarovsk, Russia, has been delighting animal lovers with her adorable menagerie of lifelike creatures since 2015. Using a needle felting technique, she transforms wool fibers into woodland critters that look like they belong in a Disney movie. Each one takes at least 20 hours to craft – a labor of love as far as Yulia is concerned.
As you can imagine, her inbox has been flooded with requests from people hoping to purchase one of these delightful knickknacks. While she isn’t taking orders at the moment, she’s happy to share photos of the little darlings on Instagram. Here are 15 of our favorites!
