The new felted FLORENCE COLLECTION of miniature wall hangings

I've been wanting to make a collection of felted items for a while now. I love drawing faces and attaching them to handmade felt. I then sit and stare at them for a while and see how the colours and textures inspire me.

Welcome to the Florence collection.

A lady who changes her form, dress and situation every time I create a piece of felt.

There are nine miniature wall hangings in this collection at the moment.

FLORENCE NO. 1
