Hi, I’m Leslie Heim, the artist behind Copper Moth Studio. I create nature-inspired fiber sculptures and paintings, blending traditional art techniques with fiber art. Each piece is crafted with care and attention, making it truly one-of-a-kind — a journey stitched one fiber at a time.

May I present my needle felted take on 3 marasmius sullivantii mushrooms in a mini terracotta pot. They have already gone on to their new home. I am working on 6 new potted mini mushrooms that will need a home soon. #softsculpture #artist #mushrooms #fiberart #minisculpture #art

Working on these tiny orange mushrooms for stream today. First, lunch. Link in profile to stream. Starts about 1 pm eastern. #mushrooms #softsculpture #fiberart

Look at this beauty! I'm delivering it to Art Link tomorrow for the 47th member's Showcase. #softsculpture #fiberart #art #artist #mushroom #sculpture #fiberartist #flyagaric

The 8 ounces of wool I scoured yesterday is dry and ready for carding. I'm processing another pound worth this morning. Later today I'll work on picking and carding during stream. #fiberartist #wool #fiberart #artstudio

Scouring wool for future needle sculpting! This wool is from Gulf Coast sheep. #wool #fiberarts #woolscouring #softsculpture #artist

Today in stream I'll be continuing my work on this mature form of an Amanita mascara var. guessowii, the American yellow fly agaric. See you around 1:30 pm eastern? Twitch.tv/coppermoth_s... #mushroom #fiberart #artstudio #needlefelting #softsculpture

Yellow fly agaric mushroom, wool soft sculpture. Finished this last week and delivered it. #softsculpture #fiberart #mushroom #wool #artstudio 4th attempt..

I've tried posting last week's mushroom sculpture twice and blue sky keep crashing on me. I'll try again later...

I had a rough April, and in a couple days I will be putting my grandmother to rest. Thus why it's been quiet. I've been back to working though and I'll have a mushroom sculpture to share shortly. In the meantime I've the best co-worker..as you can see. #softsculpture #artist #cats #fiberart

Today is LYS (local yarn store) day. My local shop has the cutest DelaQ bag with a madtosh skein. I have no yarn at home... of course I bought it! I also had to get a skein of Bad Sheep yarn to go with it, as one does. #knitter #lysday #yarn Who else bought yarn today?

Listened to an Ologies episode on the way home from camping about .. SNAILS but not what you think. bsky.app/profile/olog... I like snails, I drew this a couple years ago and it is NOT xenophobic like those in the manuscripts! Just a little Macabre is all. #snail #snaillove #lineart #artist #art

I needed to pause and pile the knitting together I have finished. The self esteem boost is good from seeing it all. I needed that. Everything needs a blocking, the blue shawl I recnetly finished needs ends woven in. #knitting #fiberartist

Started working on some mushrooms today during stream. #needlefelting #fiberartist #softsculpture

Finished creating a new cushion for my metal bird pincushion. It is much more enjoyable and very functional for the job. You can see the original cushion in one of the photos, it was rough cotton over closed cell foam. Now it's 100% wool. #fiberart #artist #softsculpture #fiberartist #needlefelting

I finished that little ball I made by needle felting. #fiberarts #needlefelting

Here is the little needle felted ball I'm currently creating for practice. Just added a small sparkly star. (No sound) #fiberart #needlefelting #mixedmedia #fiberartist #softsculpture #artist
