Thanks for stopping by Wandering Sheep. I am a felt maker and a medieval re-creationist who makes way too many fabulous things to keep to myself.  Many of my designs are inspired by ancient and medieval cultures such as the Celts, Mongols, Arabs, Ottoman Turks, and Scythians.  Please look through my gallery. Most of my products are one of a kind designs and already in the hands of a happy new owner.  I would be happy to create a "twin" of any item or create something to your specifications. Special orders take about 4 weeks. 

Wandering Sheep is currently taking a break from setting up shop at events, as modern life has not allowed me the time to make a large amount of stock.  However I welcome commissions.  Of course cash is always accepted, but I also enjoy trading services with other artisans, especially non fiber artisans such as potters, carpenters, metal smiths, and shoemakers.

My website is intended to be not only a showcase of my work but also educational resource, especially for those who are historically inclined.  The articles section contains a few things I've written and the links section will connect you to other people's work. 

Please sign my guestbook.  I'd love to hear what you think!
