Textile wall hanging made with wool depicting a portrait of a puffin.

Kind of exciting to be resharing my favorite pieces and pictures and reaching (some) new folks! 🌊🦜

A tattooed arm holds up a punch needle art piece depicting a crow skull with mushrooms growing from it and vines hanging below.

A rough sketch of a crow skull.

Fun fact:
My first DnD character was named Corvus and she’s still going strong almost 2.5 years later. This tufted piece was inspired by a crow skull doodle I did while playing. 🐦‍⬛🍄🌿

A day or two later and I still feel rising anxiety. Brings me back to the beginning of the pandemic.

Thank goodness for art and other creative pursuits.

Here’s the front of the punch needle work using the #Oxfordpunchneedle 10 and 14 with bulky wool. Location pins-ceramics and Nichrome wire.
