Needle Felted Art Doll: Lemon Mint Goat Pierrot [4.5 inches, Merino Wool]
This art doll was created in March of 2022, the week the daffodils first showed their blooms in Chicago. He is made entirely of wool (domestically sourced).
Needle felting is a very slow and laborious process, especially when you are working with very soft, fine, fibers like Merino.
This clown took around 5.5 hours to complete.
The process ends with the burning away of any loose fuzz, which results in a crisply smooth finish.
Material: Merino wool, in natural white, mint green, pale yellow, and black.
Process: Needle felted
Ruff: Endearingly irregular
Rump: Voluptuous
Size: 4.5 inches tall
