Autumn has to be my most favourite time of year!
It’s the season of dramatic change, most noticeably the shortening of daylight hours
and the fall in temperature, which in turn causes shifts in the
colours, textures and natural landscape around us.
The FELT PATH continues the themes of the summer,
combining natural shapes with felt fabric and stitch.
This time with an autumnal feel.
The fold-out book seemed a good device to contain the natural finds
constructed from paper layers.
textured with water colour pencils
The found objects, all gathered within a stone’s throw of home,
are stitched, woven and threaded into the felt strip
Now is the perfect time to collect seed pods, fruits and leaves
as Nature sheds them all.
It’s a nostalgic reminder of past times,
when we collected for the nature table at school,
where all our treasures were carefully
displayed and neatly labelled...
To identify and study these finds closely gives a greater appreciation
of their form and functionality
showing Nature, the ultimate designer, at her very best!
