New Wall Hanging


I have just made a new felted wool wall hanging. The inspiration for it is the prodigal son. I love the sculptural quality of the felted wool. I wet-felted the initial picture with different colored batts of wool. Then I needle-felted and stitched to refine and define the picture. I sewed a border and a backing to it, and then prepared a wooden rod to hang it on.
I have just won first place fiber in the juried fine art show at the Williamson County Fair!
