Felted Wool Sculpture

"Fantastic Miss Fox"
3.25" x 1.5"
wool roving, colored dye, glass beads

It's been far too long since I've added images to this site. Lately I've been getting back into small works. This fox is a sculpture made of felted wool. The wool is shaped and molded, then a barbed felting needle is used to felt the wool, densely packing it and giving form and posture to the creatures. I am currently working on a couple of sculptures that are portraits of dogs I know. I'll post them soon!
