COASTAL HAY BALES

A roadside vignette that encapsulates the inventiveness and sheer hard work of farmers as they grow, cut and harvest the hay for the coming winter months.  This collation was located near Bass Strait.  Farmers are the salt of the earth.

Hand dyed Merino, handmade felt, dry needle felting, Japanese seed bead embroidery, freeform hand embroidery, hand dyed cotton scrim, felted embellishment fibres, silk slub.  Canvas size:  40 x 50 cms.  Actual felt painting measures approximately 28 x 31 cms.

Finished felt painting has been mounted on black, sealed canvas with D-rings and wire for ease of hanging.  This painting is slated for an art exhibition later this year, if it does not sell in the meantime via this website.
