I took some photos of the sheep on a cold day whilst walking in the Lakes. These provided me with the inspiration for these sheep studies. Made using cocoon strippings felted to merino wool. They are machine stitched using many different types of thread – shiny rayons, cheap polyesters and thick jeans thread. |
