Time Tracks



"Time Tracks" is my latest felted piece. The red background piece is a wool blend felt. The black is felting fabric that was needle punched and then wet felted. The off-white is a piece of wool batt that was needled felted and then wet felted. The 'tracks' are a combination of rovings that were needled felted on a piece of black felt, cut out, and then needle felted on top. Yes, it is thick and I broke three needles in the process of needle felting (I added this comment for my needle felting friends because I could hear the question coming!). The little tracks are hand embroideried with pearl cotton.

All the 'tracks' are going up or forward because that's the direction I'm headed in life. I don't believe in looking back or back-tracking because that would be a waste of time.

Today is my husband's birthday (Happy Birthday, Honey!). We have been married 30 wonderful years.
