Well it’s been an interesting few days. We lost power during storm Darragh and some people locally are still without power or water. It’s quite awful with lots of trees and power lines down. But this happened at the local Morrisons giving us all a good laugh!
Morrisons sign wind damages so it now reads Morons

I have a passion for fantasy makes but I get a real kick out of making realistic large wool sculptures. Just as an example these are my leaping hares. Arianwen, Melangell and Emyr. (AI backdrops but no alteration to my actual work). The first two have sold and Emyr is currently for sale.
Wool sculpted leaping hare jumping over a log which is the mount for the sculpture. I have added turkey tail felted fungi to the log.

This is Emyr and he is currently for sale.

Book cover of The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien. It looks like a Lino print of a valley with mountains behind. The valley is green and the mountains are grey with white snow on their high peaks. There is a red sun in the background.

This was thick fog when I got up but now the sun has risen above the mountains we are left with dragon’s breath!
Landscape photo of the valley. There are trees in the foreground on left and right in autumnal shades. The middle ground is mist shrouded fields and in the distance there is a band of thick fog with mountains behind. The fog looks like dragons breath. You can see an orange glow of sun reflected in the hazy sky.

Cute fox made for my friend’s studio opening as a gift. Will be doing a couple more to sell on my stall.
Small needle felt fox in a curled position but with his head up, mounted on a piece of driftwood. The background is AI generated and shows a lakeside setting.
