Eve O'Neill is a transplanted Londoner who now resides in Wales. An artist all her life, after her move, her love of nature and all things "small" were channeled into the creations you see here. Fforestfelt is the result of her amazing lifelike felted wool sculptures of birds and small animals from the Welsh countryside.
Eve gathers her inspiration close to home, as she sketches her tiny muse.
Eve also uses local wools and materials.
Here she is creating a tiny wren which usually takes a full day to complete.
A nest with hatchlings accompanies this little mama.
I think this issue is still available at bookstores,
but you'll want to see her lifelike creations for yourself
in her gallery on the website, where not only birds, but rabbits and foxes,
and display cases are filled with tiny woodland creatures.
Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.

ReplyDeleteHi Debra - my favourite magazine!!! I loved that article. I so want a little robin - then it will always be spring in my house. J
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative lady! I love birds, too, and have them here and there in my house, but none as pretty as these.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend bring me home the British version of Country Living when she was visiting England and I loved it...a lot less ads then ours. Then I heard that you can subscribe to it on Amazon and I think I might since our Barnes and Noble is about 45 minutes away and I'm really never out in that direction.
XO,
Jane

I love that magazine and sometimes I can find it in France, mostly in the summer though, when we have British tourists around. I'll try to find that issue, you never know!
ReplyDeleteThat lady is impressive! I can't get over how real those birds look. They are beautiful! She has a real attention to detail, doesn't she? I love the material she uses to make those birds too. I love reading those British magazines. There's always something interesting from across the pond!
ReplyDeleteDebra,

Indeed AMAZING! What a beautiful job she does!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful indeed! What an amazing artist.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting another wonderful party, Debra.
When I first clicked on your little bird Icon I thought they were real. Simply amazing art, I'd say. She is so talented it would be very hard to pick a favorite. Being the bird lover that you are, which one is yours?
ReplyDeleteHi Debra!
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling us about this artist! I'm popping over to her website and then to the bookstore to find the mag.
