Feltwork - Pictures
Felt can be used to create pictures with great detail and colour, like a painter's pallette.
Machine and hand stitiching can be used to add further detail and effect.
The pictures vary greatly in size, so that actual sizes are provided below, in millimetres.

Footprints in the Sand - 700 x 660 Visitors to the beach leave imprints in the sand, twice daily the tide returns to wash the memory and create a new canvas for the following day's story. This changing tableau of sand is contrasted with the permanence of the rocky shore, both exposed to the same surf, the latter unmoved. The footprints tell a story, but does every readerread the same story? |
