Complimentary Practices

Finished a third felt panel for Gathered and Felt this weekend. Tried to capture not only the physicalities of the felting process, but also the ways that the process compliments gardening. For these I’m using raw Navajo-Churro fleece, so the felting process is also the washing process. All of the water (and grey-water safe soap, dirt & VM) used in this process goes to my greenhouse garden and trees. I’ve been using this method for about a year and the plants are thriving.
It was 88F today and the sun/heat was a helpful collaborator. Overall these 6.5’ x 2.5’ panels take about 5 hours from start to finish 🐑💧🌱
