amy gillespie’s wood and wool

Amy Gillespie uses a router to create a channel in panels of wood and then inlays the channel with wet-felted wool roving.  The pop of color against the wood grain really works in these wall pieces and the wool shapes look cell-like in their construction. Organic. I like the concept – do you think it could be applied to other material combinations?

    hmmmm I am thinking this would work with wood and organically created clay shapes. Maybe not as soft as felt but just as fun. :::::runs out and grabs her router and some pretty hard wood:::::::
