Some times a half way of work can just look like this....

Cleaning wool very well while watching series, documentaries and movies🍿🍿

I have my first commissioned project and I am just extremely happy! A throw blanket for the guest room and a Rug for the dog. Felting here I come !

This is my first time creating a blog but I suspect I´m gonna like it more than what I think...

This is my favourite spot of my workshop studio. Now workshop studio seams like a big word no? It reminds me of this perfectly beautiful images in instagram or Pinterest, where workshop studios look so inmacuwlous and ready to be photographed for a home decor magazine....I wish!

What I call my workshop studio is the room next to my bedroom where I have managed to put all my materials and tools and make it look like a decent office/workshop. 

Anyways, this is my corner of pride! Where I have managed to put together a textile moodboard with some ideas of volume and texture for my next collection...

>>Hi this is Malu!<<

I´m a Colombian textile artist and designer living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, EEUU, since about 1.5 years. Short story: I came for 3 weeks to visit my boyfriend, Covid happened and I ended up staying for ever!! <3 <3

I have a brand called “Ata Felting” (IG: ata_felting_design), where I explore and exalt the beauty of artisanal felting and natural Colombian wool.

This is a little example of what I do >3

I recently launched my website and my first official “collection” made by the process of upcycling felted cloths never finished, samples and scraps I have collected over time.

Anyways, I am in the process of creating my second collection “Prefacio”, and felt this was the perfect time to make a creative journal blog where I can share and reflect upon my creative process.

So, welcome to my creative process!
