The Lightbringers
The Lightbringers are one of my perennially popular collections. They were originally designed for an exhibition with the International Feltmakers Association entitled Glow. They developed into my best selling picture book The Lightbringers about how the small creatures keep the light safe over winter and return it to us in spring. The animals are needle felted wool over a wire armature so can be moved and posed. 9cm-20cm tall and carry a lantern made from a poppy seedhead and led light
