Mussel power

These playful felt mussels, handmade using 100 per cent wool, will delight adults and older kids alike. They're for decorative purposes only, "more mascots that toys," as designer Jamie Lewis puts it. See them at his newly-opened The Felt Wool Shop, at The Old Butchers Studios, Benburb Street, Dublin 7, or buy from Dublin-based Jam Art Factory and Little Museum of Dublin, O'Reilly & Turpin, Westport, Nest, Kenmare, Joyce's Crafts, Connemara, and The Forge Craft Shop, Wexford. Price €11.95. See thewoolfeltshop.com
