Heart Felt

Carole worked with people at 

Grange Place and The Green Patch

where pairs of felt hearts were chosen

and a design applied by needle felting.

 Lots of care was taken not to stab fingers in the process!

The pairs of hearts were then sewn together, a small

gap was left open to add stuffing then sewn up.

Felting the Landscape Installation Photographs

It has taken quite some time to edit and upload the photographs taken in March, which saw Carole Miles and Andrew Rushton installing and photographing the group's Felted Landscape Vessels along part of the Brampton Valley just a few miles from the Hanging Houghton Crossing near Lamport. They were viewed with much curiousity by by a host of Twitchers hoping to catch sight of Skylarks and a rarely sighted owl visiting Northamptonshire. The idea behind the temporary installation was to connect the works with the landscape and the sheep that graze in many parts of the Brampton Valley.

The full Photo Set featuring all the works made by participants can be viewed in the Flickr Set here. 

Copies of the images printed on digital watercolour paper at A3 size can be purchased by emailing Back To Books
