Hillary Gillick, lives in Seattle with her husband and their real-life lizard pets Kali and Salvador Mali.. Hillary contributed a project to “Feltique” the book that I reviewed a couple weeks ago. When I held the needle felted earring kit giveaway. Hillary’s adorable Cupcake Chomper was featured in the book. She tells me she gravitates towards the strange, absurd and surreal ( in craft and in life) and generally thinks that everything is better with tentacles. Hillary relates; “I love to create – and needle felting has been and continues to be an amazing way to capture and bring to life the denizens that roam through my head”.   Her needle felting is as smooth as a baby’s bottom without a fiber out of place. She also creates art depicting the Squiddy Bear, Schnoozle Doot Doot, and more. Her work is definitely strikingly unconventional and amusing.  Their caricatures definitely put a smile on anyone’s face.  Hillary can be found on Flickr and as a ETSY shop called Hillyhill that you must visit.  I’d like to thank Hillary, for bringing a little humor into our lives with your whimsical creatures.
