Sheep picture This work is inspired by Where is the Green Sheep? by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek, a book I shared often with my grandchildren. Reading it together created moments of joy and closeness that stayed with me. As a fibre artist, I wanted to capture that feeling using Australian Merino wool. I began by wet felting the background to form a soft canvas. I then hand-spun the wool to create my own colour palette and wet felted the portrait of the green sheep. The eyes and finer details were needle felted to bring warmth and character.
