"Can you add a kiwi bird?"
Of course! π
One of my clients asked for a scarf inspired by New Zealand β rich greens, natural textures, and, most importantly, a little kiwi bird.
Creating detailed imagery in felt is always an adventure. Wool has a mind of its own, and every stage of the process brings surprises. But that's exactly what I love about working with natural fibres.
And here he is... a tiny kiwi bird hiding among the greens. π₯°
The scarf has already found its owner.
Iβm always excited to take on new creative challenges.
β¨ If you have an idea, I'd love to hear it.
