Felted Sculptures . Bearded Mushrooms

Spring has arrived in Tasmania.  I have just finished off these lovely little sculptures.  I call them "Bearded Mushrooms"  They are lovely and soft and ephemeral looking - although they will last for years and years.   They are 100% Merino wool, felted over wire armatures and attached to lake driftwood and small burls found in the Central Tasmanian wilderness.

They are for sale.  Along the bottom of the picture ... number 1 and 2 are $105each plus postage and numbers 3 and 4 are $85 each plus postage.

If you are interested in puchasing please email me jane@janemonkstudio.com

Cobweb Scarf ... Wet felting

I have always wanted to try my hand at doing a cobweb scarf with weto felting .. this is my first attempt.   I have used a hand dyed wool/silk blend top purchased from Ewe Give Me The Knits ... this scarf is so light and easy to wear, but very very warm.   I am so happy with how it turned out ... I just might make another one :)

Hope everyone is keeping busy during our Southern Hemisphere Winter ....til next time ... Jane x
