Another of my favorites from the class.   All totaled I created 4 pieces of art over a 3 month period.  I have many hours invested in each one.   The birches have quite a bit of machine stitching to add small branches.   I am finally moving toward framing under glass.   I know that many of you like the textural element of seeing the felt without glass but the glass will keep the art clean, protected from insects and UV.    I have resisted this move for a long time but as my art progresses and prices increase it seems to be a wise move.  Hoping that you all agree.  

 I have been taking a course from Moy Mackay, a Scottish felt landscaper whose work I have admired forever.   She allowed us develop our own projects with very little input from her.   She really taught me to be more intentional about my art, take more time planning before I start creating, follow a process and finally to consider using some machine stitching to accentuate some aspects of my art.   This is one my favorites
