Combining my primary medium; needle felting, with other mediums, is my current obsession. For First Reader, I’ve illustrated ABCD with needle felted critters. Learning to read did not come easily. In fact, as an adult, I started over with early readers. This piece is in memory of Betty, who recognized my dilemma and graciously helped me become someone who actually read for pleasure.

This little needle felted piece was created in front of a warm fire last winter. It can hang or sit on a surface.

needle felting is a process of embedding wool fibers together with a barbed needle. It’s a medium that works in both two and three dimensions. For this piece, I worked the tree trunk flat against the black background fabric, created the shelf mushrooms separately, then I join them together.
