Textile Artist Hand-Crafts Fuzzy Felted Animals Made From Wool
Philadelphia-based textile artist Holly Guertin (aka Ernie and Irene) creates three-dimensional, felted animal wall hangings. Using a needle and wool, the fiber art pieces depict portraits of fluffy creatures such as llamas, sheep, and alpacas, that look perfectly at home mounted on a bed of fuzzy felt. The tangible โmeaningful pieces for beautiful spacesโ are ready-to-hang with loops at the back of each piece. Guertin uses a combination of two techniques to hand-craft each piece.
