We walked from home to Hazelwood Castle, one of our favourite local walks.
The path takes us through beautiful woodland where tall trees form a glowing autumn canopy. The forest floor is carpeted with fallen leaves in rich shades of red, orange and gold. Soft rays of sunlight filter through the branches, casting long dappled shadows across the ground.
Ahead of us, a deer stood quietly among the autumn colours, so still she almost disappeared into the landscape. If she didn’t move, perhaps she hoped we wouldn’t notice her.
That day we saw several deer moving lightly through the trees, an extraordinary and fleeting moment that always feels special.
Little autumn deer
Has lots to fear.
A dog roaming free…
Quick, hide behind a tree!
The deer has been seen,
Keeping her demeanour serene.
The deer has been smelt,
And now she must quickly pelt.
Through woodland she is quick,
Through forest branches, dense and thick.
Safe once more beneath the trees,
Hidden amongst the autumn leaves.
I wrote this little poem to reflect the scene, with a little poetic licence – the dog wasn’t actually there!

Drawing on my degree in Fine Art, I use wool in lots of different colours, much as you would use tubes of paint, and lay out the loose fibres of different coloured wool onto my base, as you would paint onto canvas.
Once finished, the next stage is to make these loose fibres of wool stick together using the wet felting technique to turn the wool painting into a piece of felt. This is done by adding hot soapy water and friction. The hot water opens up the wool’s scales and the friction, through rubbing and rolling, binds them together. During this process the wool shrinks by about 15–20%, leaving one piece of felt material.
Once the felted picture is dry, I needle felt into the piece to sharpen some of the details.
