This painting was done from colored sheep's fibers.I use no paints nor brushes in the process of creation. In this picture, I dealt for the first time in my life with the leo sign,which is my sun sign. ********** I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU,for your feedbacks. William K. WOW! What can I say to you? As a matter of fact the fibers I use are already dyed,not by myself,the fibers comes clean and dyed,ready to use.Since I dye wool fabrics for my rugs,I know the dying can be done with all sorts of natural plants,TEA...or coffee bags ,spices...and of course with synthetic or chemical dyes. *** I must say,I APPRECIATE & ANJOY creativity in all shapes of art,if it talks to me,so...again thank you all for the pleasure you're giving me with your works of art.

Hi Nira. What a beautiful piece of work. Very organic. In olden days many people knew how to do these types of work but know nearly everything is made with machines. Because of that many knowledge/skills are getting forgotten. RabsJerie kunitsky 26 Jul 2008
