Perchance
to Dream. Portrayal
The Plaster of Paris face is faux finished and mounted on industrial felt. The surrounding materials are handcrafted felt, raw, dyed carded wool, silk, threads, ribbons, and a shell. Detail and sculptural effects were done with a felting needle. Perchance to Dream. Detail. See my 'offerings' page for more information on how I can create a totally unique, personal portrayal for you. What a very special gift! |

Mirage. Felted
form. Hand crafted felt with silk, fabric snippets, and threads. This soft felted piece shimmers inside with the light creating the illusion of differing depths. |

   |
Cocoon. Felt
piece. I seem to be creating many pieces with 'surprises' inside as you look more closely. This is another work with those thoughts. Hand crafted felt with threads, fabric, and manmade fibre. One side has several 'torn' openings and you have to look through them and up into the piece to discover more beauty! |

Blue
Vessel Cover. Hand crafted felt with needle felted sculptural detail includes threads, dyed locks, and manmade fibre. The vessel cover slips over a glass vase for a very different container for flowers or all kinds of things! |

Silk
Paper Vessel. This vessel was molded over a dish. It comprises dyed silk fibre and art tissue. A votive candle now has its place casting a magical light through the translucent fibre. |

Untitled.
Felted
piece . This face emerged as I worked dyed wool fibre with a felting needle onto a quarter inch industrial felt background. He wanted to fill the whole space! |

Out
of the Blue. Felted
piece. I worked this piece on a flight from Vancouver to Toronto. I needled the background first, and then began to work the face with no end result in mind. Obviously an African influence was at work here! |
