Feral Goats

We had two goat skins hanging on the cottage wall that needed a bit of dressing up,  so Bev designed a very colourful wall hanging to display the fleeces.  The white fleece is from a Cashmere Goat, and the grey is from an Angora Goat, giving mohair fibre.  The vivid background was inspired by the red soil at Cobar.  Bev carded a rather large amount of Merino fleece, dyed it using the microwave dying method using Queen’s food colouring, and felted it onto a piece of hessian.  The possum was then needle felted over the top (can you spot the possum?).
