Needle Felted flying swan

A needle felted sculpture of a mute swan in flight. White woollen fibres have been sculpted using a barbed felting needle which binds the fibres together and shapes the body The feet are cut from gray felt and attached using wire covered in woollen fibres to create the legs. The wings have been cut from a piece of wool felt, the leading edge has been wired allowing the wings to be gently posed as required. Finally, the beak is made using silk clay, which has been hand coloured. Small black beads have been added for the eyes.

The swan has been mounted using a thin perspex rod on an oval wooden base covered with artificial grass. It measures approximately 16cm long with a wingspan (as posed) of 23cm, and the ornament stands 15cm tall.

I have several of these available and all will be slightly different.

Please note: this swan is intended as an ornament, it is not a toy. The model contains small parts which could pose a risk to small children and it will not tolerate rough handling.
