Vanishing RainbowsShelley Brucar
1st piece in series related to climate change. Vanishing Rainbows brings awareness to bleaching of coral reefs caused by warming oceans.

I chuckled a lot as I was making it and when I gotContinue reading “Hilarious

Forest Whispers is a needle-felted scene inspired by the quiet magic of the woodland floor. Layered wool fibers form mushrooms rising from moss and earth, capturing both fragility and resilience. This piece honors the hidden networks and gentle voices of the forest—reminders of connection, renewal, and wonder beneath the trees.
