Tufting, in many ways, represents a union of many of the different types of artwork that Eads has done over the decades. He grew up on anAngora goatfarm in West Texas, and his parents made mohair fibers.
If your style leans more toward midcentury modern than anime, you’ll want to check out Tim Eads @tufttheworld, a designer who founded an online community for tufters and started selling tufting guns and yarn back in 2018. TikTokers eager to participate in the new trend often flock to Eads’ website TuftingGun.com to order supplies, get help, and discuss the craft in greater detail than a social media comments section allows.
