“Gladiolas” was created by first laying out colorful wool and silk fibers on a wool base, then wet felting with soapy water and rolling hundreds of times in a bamboo mat until the fibers lock together. After drying 36 hrs, I needle felt the design to further enhance dimension, then freeform machine stitch and embroider for added interest and texture. “Gladiolas” is approx. 23×33” mounted in a metallic/wood frame, as shown.
I do not place glass fronts on my paintings, as I believe part of the experience is having direct access to their rich textures. Wool is naturally water-resistant, fire-resistant mould- and mildew-resistant and antibacterial.
Shipping is included in the cost of this piece.
