Festival season is in full swing and I have been felting away making show inventory and working on custom portraits. I've just finished these three curly cuties - Swiss Valais Blacknose sheep felted (mostly) flat onto linen fabric and framed in an embroidery hoop. Depending on how much detail I am trying to work into a flat piece, I will either felt everything completely flat to help capture small changes in color, or I will leave some focal points raised off the backing to add texture. The latter is the case with these sheep, as I wanted to let the locks (Teeswater) come to life and showcase their bouncy beauty.
I will have these felts and more with me tomorrow at Watertown High School from 10a-3p for the Watertown Lions Club Harvest Cruze Car Show and Marketplace! Come visit the BCR booth and say hello!
Woolly wishes,
Kait
