Elowen Braunstein-Black
Elowen grew up immersed in the arts. She found her interest in needle felting by receiving a kit as a Christmas gift from her husband. From there the interest has blossomed and the wool has taken over! The needle felting process begins with a small barbed needle and wool roving. When stabbing through the wool the scales of the needle catch on the fibre, entwining them together. Through time and diligent work the fibres are bonded together into the delightful designs you see. There is something so satisfying about the tactile nature of fibre.; when Elowen creates a painting you can’t help but be pulled in by it, as the fibre tempts you to touch and become part of it.
