” State Fair” Farmer P.Guin was tired of hanging with the gang in the Antarctic and heard that life in ORegon was slower and the fishing was fine. He moved north and became an Organic Farmer-then he packed up his fish lunch and headed for the state fair where his pink pig won a first place ribbon. He headed home with his new gang and some nifty bfl locks that he picked up in the barn sale,
100% needle felted over wire armature, mostly with a single needle. I used a multi needle tool on the road. The wire armatures extend through the animals for stability. The Cart is built out of a piece of old barn with wheels that are painted red, Twine is hand dyed jute, the bell is hand made from Mexico and a purchased straw hat with a wooden bead accent. The whole Piece is mounted on cardboard and foam core board for stability The Cart is wired to the board the goat and the penguin are mobile and cand be move around…the goats harness will unhook form the cart
Made from Wool grown, harvested processed here at Liongate Farm, a little angelina in the road for a tiny bit of sparkle.
