She works
with felt for 15 years. Self-taught she learned all she knows the hard way by
countless failures and endless researches. She usually spends 6 to 10 hours
every day in her home studio. Her handmade felt is very strong and high
quality due to a great efforts. She wants to achieve the smoothest finish and
endlessly rubs and compresses wool fibers with her hands until it is as strong
as it can get. Wool has a soothing nature, but the work that goes into it is
physical!
When Astuko
begins a piece, she first draw the design in a sketchbook and creates the
pattern paper, based on the sketch. Although she creates the same design with
different colors, each design is individually unique, and no two are the same.

Nature is
her source of inspiration. Atsuko loves the shape and organically smooth curves
of plants. They remind her of the softness and warmness of wool. Images get
formed in her imagination and slowly a new design is born.
The artiste
lobes the freedom wool felting admits. The felt medium allows her to freely
design organic forms, the awesome irregular shapes are not possible with other
materials. Even unusual shapes of bags are created without any seams.
These couldn’t be done with cloth and a sewing machine.
Atsuko’s wool
felt bags are strong enough to enjoy them a lifetime.

Her work is
labeled and sold under the name "taneno." Tane means plant seeds in
Japanese. The planted seeds eventually grow into a big tree. A big tree
develops out of a small seed. Seeds are small in size but house incredible
potential. This is what Atsuko adore about seeds, and that’s why they became
the namesake of her brand.
