Folk Artist Morna Crites-Moore

All the pieces today are the work of folk artist Morna Crites-Moore. She felts wool using 'abandonded' sweaters and blankets to make these wonderful pieces - pinchusions, needle cases, small rugs and more.

'Make-do' pincushion above made from felted wool atop a vintage glass candlestick holder, embellished with pins, buttons, a bird, and a brown wool felt star stitched on top.

Blue crow make-do pincushion.

Small needlecase with vintage button on top.

These two pieces are small textile pictures.

Multi-colored penny rug.
