A course by Carolina Alles
As a child, Carolina Alles, better known as Caro Indy, used to make clothes for her dolls. Nowadays she still does, but has made a career out of it.
She is a fiber artist specialized in needle felting, a technique that allows her to sculpt her own characters from scratch using fabric. But what makes her work even more special is the way she manages to give her characters their own personality, incorporating them into all kinds of projects in other disciplines, from children's stories to a child's favorite toy.
