Artwork One

Title: Lampshade DAHLIA

Materials and Techniques: Materials and Techniques: Merino wool 19 mic, viskose fibres, wet felting, working with resists

Inspiration: I love this felting technique, which I call Dahlia, because I was inspired by the flower. This technique has something more: the segments create fabulous and strong connections between top and bottom, like a bridge; it is so exciting! 

Artwork Two

Title: Cushion LAVA

Materials and Techniques: Materials and Techniques: Merino wool 19mic, viskose fibres, wet felting, cracked technique

Inspiration: My inspiration for this felted cushion was the lava of a volcano. It flows and leaves patterns like this. Several lava streams connect to each other; sometimes they move apart and then come together again.
