Texture - Monique Kleinhans



 I have been working with wool roving lately and enjoying 'painting' images with it using felting needles.  This little fox was created on a foam mat with loose fibers needle felted together.  I then placed him on a background stitched and treated with the product texture magic to add a little extra interest.  I did a bit more thread work on the fox and quilted the background down a bit more.  He looks a little impatient though, I think I better let him continue looking for his dinner.

    Well, isn't he just the sweetest, with eyes filled with such curiosity. I think he just spotted his dinner and in his youth is still trying to figure out how to deal with it!

    I like the combination of fibre and stitching in this one.

    Cant say foxes are my favourite creatures, they're always after my chickens here but you've done a wonderful job with your woodland creature.

    Fantastic Mr Fox - scrumptious texture.
    Texture Magic ("Shrinky" fabric)is such fun to use - but I banned myself from using it for this texture challenge (I used it 3 times for my art quilts in the last year)
    Your fox quilt is lovely.

    Wow! The combination of felting and stitching makes for a very realistic furry fox. I like the use of texture magic for the background.

    Felting and wool rovings just sing out for touching, everyone must want to stroke your fox. So realistic, love him.
