| Artist’s Statement: | Piper created this by needle felting in a group that I was very worried about letting them try the needle on the sponge. I was worried about if they accidentally poked themselves there would be a lot of emotions. She was a champ and very independently worked on felting her fibers and sewing in the stars. She did have help threading the needle and knotting the thread. |
