I think you’ve already seen the small one of these pots, both have been made as part of my Midsummer Night’s Dream work for Metaphor. It’s fairly obvious that bark and lichens are my inspiration.
The pots are a mix of different wools including Bergschaf, Merino, Swaledale and Norwegian.
There are Teeswater curls, synthetic and natural fabric inclusions plus mulberry bark, muberry silk, dyed silk cocoons and flax fibres.
They’re very well felted and quite stiff. I’m still debating whether to add some stitch, what do you think, would it improve it? Or beads perhaps? Both?
these are really lovely but I always think a little stitch enhances….
Ooh – the odd magical bead or two would not go amiss …. ! Beautiful x
