Neysa Russo lives in Bradford, Vermont, where she creates handmade felt tapestries, rugs, and home decor items. Inspired by ancient embroideries and antique fabrics, she is fascinated by the rich history of textile design. "When my mother taught me to felt, I began a journey that has kept me in raptures. Now I am producing items I never imagined I could create." She markets her own line of kits, exhibits her work in galleries, and teaches the fine art of needle felting.
