| Salley Mavor |
This incredible needlewoman is Salley Mavor from Falmouth Massachusetts. She studied at Rhode Island Design School and works with thread and felt to create three dimensional scenes of birds, animals and delightful little people.
It is her birds, however that leave me speechless. Her wonderful piece, Birds of Beebe Woods is just amazing and is currently touring the US. You can find more details of the birds at her website - www.weefolkstudio.com, where you will also find other pieces in detail, her books and more wonderful felt creations.

The American birds can be very different than our own, the robin and the goldfinch particularly but the nuthatch, crow and wren are just as we find here in the UK and sadly we never get cardinals which are just my favourite of the birds shown here.

Salley says that "
A needle is my tool, thread is my medium and stitches are my mark," which is a wonderfully lyric way to describe her stunning work. If you visit the website, on the 'About Me' page is an engaging video entitled Rabbitat which looks closely at her work, her methods and her style.
It is a pleasure to share this amazing needlewoman with you all and please visit her website for even more treasure. My warmest wishes.
