As a Textile Design lecturer, I had the opportunity to be an assistant in the textile workshop on felting of Mrs. Geri Forkner (an American textile artist), and that was my starting point.
Felting is a well-known technique in Western countries that uses wool as a material for arts & crafts.
Crafts enthusiasts are starting to use this technique in Thailand, but it is not yet popular. The wool material is not produced in this country and must be imported, and thus is quite expensive.
The felting techniques come in a variety of forms, both 2-D and 3-D, depending on the method. It was something that interested me and I wanted to experiment with it in my art works.
The inspiration for my work comes mostly from impressions gathered from my travels. This time, I visited the United States during the springtime when colorful flowers were in bloom, and that gave form to the creation of this work.
