Each fibre is layered and sculpted by hand to build depth and lifelike texture, bringing together deep russet tones, ecru at the tail tip and lower face, and brown ears with ecru running through them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe fox lies on a bed needle felted from undyed Jacob sheep fleece, in the natural greys and browns of the fleece itself, set within a twig wreath with leaves wet felted from merino wool in several shades of green and cut individually. The wreath sits on a cherry wood slice with the natural bark edge left as it came, prepared by Joe. It is lightly secured in place, enough to keep it steady in transit, so it may come free with handling. This is expected and not a fault, and the piece sits securely on a shelf, sill or mantelpiece either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted artwork intended for display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand needle felted in the Boyne Valley, Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-dyed New Zealand wool, undyed Jacob sheep fleece and merino wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet on a cherry wood slice with the natural bark edge, prepared by Joe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-of-a-kind original fibre artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe wreath is only lightly secured to the wood slice, to keep it steady in transit, and may come free with handling.
