Wearable Sculpture

Fran models my first completed needle felted hat.
Sculpture for the body. Seems like a natural progression as I continue to use crochet and fibres in my art.
Special Thanks to the folks at Knotty by Nature in downtown Victoria for their assistance in finding the wools and materials to complete the piece.
