Flowers




Folks are starting to grumble about the winter weather, so I created several small wall hangings of "flowers," using Border Leicester wool and Angora goat mohair dyed locks, a few scraps of Italian wool yarn, little bits of dyed Angora rabbit fiber, and lots of beads. All of this lays over a small, colorful piece of heat bondable Angelina. The fibers are needlefelted on to a piece of needlefelted Romney wool base dyed dark purple. The photos aren't great--you have to see them in person to appreciate their beauty!

  1. I should add that the wool base is hand stitched with handspun Angora rabbit fiber by Sandy Griggs, who owns Sandy's Royal Angoras, near Detroit.
