Moth Balls

 

Tiger moth

For the recent Textile Connections exhibition we were challenged to make 'balls' - any size, any design, any technique.

I had fun making a series of 'Moth Balls'

These are all based on real moths and stitched onto soluble film or a calico base. 

Lots and lots of thread! Wired attenae.

Mounted onto needle felted woolen balls.

Maybe I will try a series of 'Cricket balls' next
