Felted Sculptures in Snow

Enjoyed shooting more felted pods in the snow. My husband joined me on the shoot and we had some good laughs as we sunk into the mud, battled the wind, and scouted out the best icicles in the park. Regarding these felted pods: the cream-colored pod is covered in tiny mirrors with one large one in the front. I was hoping that the mirrors would pick up the light and make for some interesting compositions.

Felted Works in Snow

We had a glorious snowfall last night... I awoke compelled to photograph some felted pieces outside in the glistening, magical environment. I'd love to hang a pod from a tree and leave it there throughout the winter to see if, and how, nature might reclaim it. Would critters nest in it or pick pieces from it to build their winter homes? Might a coyote trot off with it and use it as a plaything. Would it get heavy with moisture, fall to the ground, and be lost till spring? I wonder. ~Kim
