The Magic Mirror






I made this nuno felt scarf in response to Theme Thursday's prompt of Mirror.  The scarf is made from Merino, Alpaca and silk.  The centre of the scarf is a grassy knoll with a tree on it.  Initially, the tree was to be reflected in a lake which would act as the mirror but as the piece evolved  it became night and day, making the mirror a magical one that transports you from the everyday world to the magical moonlit sky to step out beneath an enchanted tree.

you're doing a very good 'ploughing'-job - it looks very natural and the colours match very well. The combination with the glass beads makes the difference.

It´s an enchanted and magical scarf, Jasmine. I love the piece, and the text, wool, silk and words under your spell.
