Beatrix
Meet Beatrix, my wonderfully wooly herdy. The Original Felting is made from 100% wool, wet felted and needle felted to capture her grey-streaked coat and fluffy white head.
These high quality, Giclee, limited edition prints of my Beatrix come in a square frame and believe me the print quality is amazing. You really can see all the wooly fibres, making it look just like an original felting.
I named this piece after Beatrix Potter, creator of Peter Rabbit who adored Herdwick sheep and ensured their local land was preserved so they could stay in the area. To this day the breed can still be found roaming the fells in Cumbria.
The Lake District is famous for them and it's all thanks to Beatrix Potter.
.
The Herdwick breed is some 10,000 years old and unlike other commercialised breeds, they are genetically still wild. They have a cute teddy bear appearance and are very friendly and often known as the smiley sheep that shaped the Lake District.
