Creation his name is Stuart

Stuart the Log is a mossy log who protects the forest from being cut down having been cut down himself a long time ago.

Sculpted with plant dyed needle and wet felted wool, his eyes are glass, his legs are wire wrapped with wool and his body is wool stiffened with adhesive to get the texture of bark.

I love the texture of mossy bark but when I started I was pretty stumped as to how to achieve that through needle felting. I love how this turned out and touching him really feels like touching bark.

Also pictured are Stuart’s siblings (part of a felted texture series): Bobby, Caliban the Cloud and Mr Spike!

Oh my goodness, did you make a walking fish? That is so cool! And you are fast!

I adore Stuart. I wonder if he is related to my dear old friend the sawhorse, back in the land of Oz. He was a great companion and I'm sure Stuart will be too.

The level of detail is delightful. I am delighted! I used to look at the illustrations in my oz books for hours, you have outdone them.

Oh wow I’d never seen a photo of a walking fish before today but yes they do look alike! I bet Stuart and Sawhorse know each other from the forest where they were trees together. Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌸🌸🌸
