Lady of the Forest

With her gnarled tree-root staff in hand she walks through the forest
beneath the tall, ancient trees. The Lady of the Forest watches silently
with great care over every tree, plant, creature and insect in her
kingdom…

My hikes out in the lush, mossy forests of Oregon offer a lot of inspiration for my art. These needlefelted wool Ladies of the Forest are a favorite creation of mine, representing all the green, growing things in the woods of the Pacific Northwest and beyond

.

Carrying tree root staffs, and sometimes baskets of acorns like this maiden here, I think they make a great addition to a nature table or seasons table, and bring a little bit of the outdoors in.
