Felted Yumminess
Saturday, August 16, 2008 Felted fabrics possess a dense texture that instantly adds warmth to a room. Anne KyyrIö Quinn is an artist who constructs beautiful objects completely by hand and the results are exquisite. Form outshines function and yet each piece is perfectly utilitarian. What a pleasure to look at; they must be a delight to actually touch.
Above are images of just some of Anne KyyrIö Quinn's felted fabric techniques. Below are images of a variety of her products including pillows, throws, and lighting.
