Needle felted outsider art wool sculptures!
by yers truly: jenni glassford!
What exactly is needle felting?
Well....needle felting is the art of sculpting wool roving with small, extremely sharp barbed needles. The stabbing process causes the fibers to shrink and therefore, lends itself to be sculpted. It's a time consuming art form, but exciting to see a sculpture emerge from a simple old lump o' wool!
Each one of my creations is unique!
They are usually based on my (many!) outsider-ish cartoons! The only pattern I use comes from my head or whatever little sketch I have layin' around (god knows there are millions of them!). Most of my pieces are string jointed (& some have a bit of wire armature) for gently posing them! They also come with a hand signed, numbered, and screen printed tag!
