Felted back together from broken pieces, her life paints a beautiful portrait.
This fiber portrait was created in many steps. I completed multiple stages of wet felting to create the fabric of her face and then felted the pieces together. Her beauty emerged fully when I painted her facial features through the process of needle felting. The portrait was then mounted onto a fabric background and framed.
