The Beeten Woman
Selected by FAM curators

wool fiber, beet juice, metal wire

As she was stabbed, poked and prodded, the more she bled and worn down she got. And in the end, she was stronger and left it to faith. This piece was created with a blend of dark and light wool fiber (donated). Hand needle felted are herself and the beet she sits upon. A coat hanger wire is the core of her aura. Spun yarn from a wheel created the roots which the beet juice was absorbed to color the piece, and also was used to create the hands that kept her tied.

A Feather For The Goddess, Isis
woven hand-spun wool, felted wool, foraged antique buttons
10″ x 10″
2024
This feather is made with hand-carded fiber blended to create a delicate texture. The background is hand-woven using the same wool fiber as the feather, spun into a two-ply yarn on a spinning wheel. The buttons were sourced from local antique shops, with the top left one representing the sun disk above Isis Cattle Horns, one for the Moon, and the final one tied with three strings representing the pyramids of Egypt. The Goddess Isis is known for her protection of Women, Motherhood, Healing and also was believed to have taught the women of Egypt weaving.
