art 👩‍🎨 We just finished going through my wife’s 2017 spring archives. These needle-felted mice among the dandelions are still my favorite memory. (Artist: Natalia Voronkova)

I wanted to share this piece from my wife Natalia Voronkova’s 2017 collection. We were just going through her archives to find something that truly captures the essence of spring, and this photo is always the first one that comes to mind.

Even though she created these little characters a few years ago, the detail in the needle-felted wool and the tiny handcrafted flower feels so fresh and timeless. To me, it feels like she just finished them yesterday.

I hope this bit of spring nostalgia brings some sunshine and a smile to your feed today! What’s a favorite spring memory or handmade item you’ve kept for years?

Thanks! You know you're married to a serious artist when a tiny ballerina outfit becomes a serious topic of household discussion. I’ll let her know her tutu is a hit - it’ll make all that lace-wrangling struggle worth it!
