DESCRIPTION:
Add a touch of "love" to your home with this wonderfully soft heart shaped pillow that has been artistically made using a blend of marbled grey, ivory and charcoal wool.

THE PROCESS:
* Felting is a labor intensive art with each finished piece involving many hours of work - all done by hand! The end result is undeniably lovely and because of the hand made nature, you can be assured that no two pieces will ever be the same (in fact, a sheep's fleece will always grow back in with subtle differences from year to year) - thus assuring you of original and functional art for your home

Because I use fleece instead of processed fibers, the individual character & texture of the sheep's locks are artistically apparent which adds an lovely texture and color nuances.

FIELD GRASS ETC:
* Prior to the actual felting process, I spend a great deal of time removing bits of bedding and vegetable matter from each fleece. These are real sheep living their best life out in their fields. Some sheep will have virtually no vegatative matter, while others will be chuck full! Therefore, please expect to find some remaining vegetable matter such as hay, straw, grain, tiny twigs etc. in your felted art piece. These bits shows up more evidently in light & dark colored feeces. If you are concerned or have special needs, please feel free to send me a message:)

CLEANSING:
* My felted pillows are "washed" during the design process and once completed, I hand wash each piece thoroughly using an all natural plant based cleanser which is safe for the environment and restores the natural pH of the wool. They are then set out under the sun to dry.

CARE AND MAINTANENCE:
* Because the structure of wool fiber, it is naturally dirt and stain resistant. It is best to gently shake (outdoors) to remove dust/dirt. If necessary, your felted pillow can be hand washed (or spot cleaned) in cold water with a gentle wool cleanser like Unicorn or white vinegar. The excess water can be gently squeezed out or spun in your washing machine on the gentlest cycle, then set flat to air dry.
