Ardene Bjork of South Carolina is another artist to watch for!
You might recall we recently shared her needle felted picture of a tiger. This image is her tribute to the lovely Scarlet O’Hara
of Gone With The Wind.
Ardene needle felted MC-1 Batts, Merino Top and NZ Corriedale onto a commercial felt background.
It is 9″ x 12″ and 100% needle felted.
“I love the movie Gone With The Wind and I just had to try to reproduce the vintage photograph in wool. There is no wet felting in this portrait as, regretfully, I have not yet learned how to wet felt. I hope you enjoy her. It’s as close to Scarlett as I could get in wool. This painting has also helped me to stop smoking. The needle felted keeps me so busy it truly has helped. I get lost in my paintings and hours fly by.”
