This is G my hairdresser, we have been trading  for years. On my last trip back to Canada I made G this felted piece.  I wanted to combine the wild landscape of Canada with the manicured landscape of the UK.  You can see the UK side.  I was thinking about all those amazing stone walls. The problem is this is the only image I have of this piece because I didn't take any pictures.  I have done this before and always regret it.
I have a dress in the design faze working with the same motif. This time I will document it, lesson learnt I hope.  
The materials are merino, silk, camel and alpaca.

This piece ' I Can Hear The Trees Sing' has been accepted into the show  De rerum nataura (On The Nature of Things)  at this years World of Threads Festival. : http://www.worldofthreadsfestival.com
at Joshua Creek Heritage Arts Center in  Oakville, Ontario, Canada, Nov 2 - 18.  I am really excited to be included with such amazing textile artists from around the world. All of the shows look amazing.
I made this piece in response to moving back to England feeling the need to find a mossy shelter in the woods.
