A while ago I posted about the Sami people here.
It was their relationship with the reindeer, the land
and their Northern environment which inspired me
in a needle felting project.
The reindeer became more than I had planned and my imagination
blossomed...
Here sits Finn, a fox lies sleeping beneath his chair in the moss...
Perched above Finn, witness to his dreams, sits an owl...
The woodland birds making a home with the reindeer...
Silently, Finn has drifted off to the land of the Sami...
This piece was so much fun to do and probably my most elaborate to date.
As an added bonus, it will be one of the chosen pieces for the
Sooke Fine Arts Show this summer!
If you're in the area, the show runs from July 28th - August 6th.

you are truly a magical creator

what you do... Really. It's just not FAIR to those of us who have to be content with two-dimensional attempts. Does ANYONE do quite what you do with "felting?" Really? I don't think so.
Okay. I'll stop now. I just wish I could see this in person.
i love your creative art, your creative beauty! amazing how they look real.
gosh!
This is absolutely beautiful, I think you have taken this art form to a new level.
I have never seen pattern incorporated in needle felting before. It is extraordinarily amazingly fantastically brilliant!!!
