FURROWS - RESIST DYED FELTED WOOL

Another little resist dyed felted wool piece was calling for attention.
 After stabilizing with Pellon's non-fusible light-weight interfacing, supplies were pulled in preparation for the stitching.
 Some of the main elements were added first to work out the embellishing theme.
 Because of its already busy design, less beads are finding there way onto the piece. 
 Detail

FURROWS  10" x 8"
Hand felted resist dyed wool, hand embroidered, & bead embellished.
Mounted on felted wool covered canvas frame.

When it was complete.....it felt too lonely as such a small stand alone.  After some experimenting, I decided to mount it on a felted wool covered canvas which seemed to set off the piece in just the right manner.

I'm linking to 3 sites where you can enjoy the work of other artists celebrating the progress they've made this week:   Nina Marie's Off The Wall Friday,         Crazy Mom and Whoop Whoop It's Friday

Yes, indeed. A very successful felted composition. And I love how you mounted this. I am thinking about mounting my felted pieces on burlap.
