sea felt

his experiment is a result of days spent by the ocean, gathering seaweed washed up on shore and wondering how to put it to use. Layers of carded wool combine with the seaweed to create embellished felt panels. As the wool dries in the felting process, so does the seaweed, buckling and curling in unexpected ways. The result brings together these disparate elements from land and ocean, with simple patterning suggestive of tribal designs.
