About
This wall hanging is a homage to 2020 entitled Blursday. It is a wet felted piece using hand dyed wool, handspun yarn and thread to pictorially depict the brain fog one experiences in quarantine. It is mounted on a rigid backing and ready to hang.
Patricia Stephenson owns and operates Moon on the Mountain Farm and Fiber Arts LLC in Western Loudoun County Virginia. She is an artisan felt maker and shepherd to a small flock of ecologically and humanely raised (…and much loved) Merino sheep and alpacas. These lovely animals provide the fine wool Patricia uses to craft sculptural felt works and wearable art, and she takes inspiration from the beauty of the natural environment in this quiet, secluded part of Virginia. Patricia has practiced various fiber arts most of her life but only started felt making about 10 years ago. She likes to joke that felting is a craft one can learn in 5 minutes and then take a lifetime to explore its many possibilities. She loves to work with natural colored wool but also with the vibrantly colored wool and silk fibers that she hand-dyes in her studio. She sets up shop at local, juried fiber and craft fairs. She offers garments, millinery, wall hangings, sculptural felt and ornaments.
