Birdsuit

Birdsuit was an exercise in felting and dyeing.  An old woollen sweater was felted in a washing machine, and then cut and stitched back together to form a base garment.  Wool roving was then needle-felted into feathery shapes and dyed with acid dyes in various tropical shades, and then stitched onto the base garment.  The mask was created by needle-felting wool roving to create a think, dense shape, and then embellished with felted "feathers" and beads.
