Watcher in the Woodpile

Look who is surveying the world from the safety of a shaggy, lichen covered woodpile. 

This wallhanging is about two feet square. The background felt was created with a combination of wet felting and needle felting, creating a unique texture. The lighter locks on the right are from Linda's favourite coloured fleece. Some days that colour is Archie's only redeeming feature! That, and our sentimental attachment to our first born.

The really shaggy pieces are from the britch, or backend, of our older ewes. 

This wool is relatively coarse and tough so it adds an interesting dimension to the felt.
