FELTED  WALL   ART

I started with a piece of white pre-felt fabric and dyed it, using a Shibori-Clamp resist technique that involves binding the material into three-dimensional shapes.  I then hand stitch and manipulate the dyed felt  into abstract forms, rich in painstaking detail and saturated color.  Some suggest garments - perhaps an obi or an evening gown - others might imply Baroque architecture, manicured gardens, or even evoke the atmosphere of a changing season.  Each is unique and jewel-like, a window in an exquisite miniature world.    ​
