Corrie P (1)This is a felting inspired by nature in Costa Rica where Ron and I stayed after Christmas. The birds in Costa Rica are beautiful. They are around especially when mating time comes around and they build their nests. The orchids I tried to depict are the ones that grow in our front yard in a luscious tree covered with huge vines.
The felting process was not so easy. It is true you can alter your design as the process goes along, but the fibres have to get felted and matted and different fibres do different things.I use wet felting and needle felting. At this stage I am not finished with this piece yet but it is progressing in the right direction. Some details have to be added and the hanging details have to be done.
