Another approach to needle felt people






My starting point was The Lady of the House of Love by Angela Carter. The story is about Nosferatu, but not
It's the tragedy of a young girl trapped by her ancestors sins and her nature.


 I made up a wire skeleton which included the rib cage and shape of the hip bones rather than the basic structure I used before. This gave the figure a much more emaciated look by allowing the bones to protrude under thin layers of wool.



Nosferatu wears her mothers wedding dress as if it is the only clothes she has. I created a dress that is layered and torn to express the age of the garment. The shape also sits around her like a shell, too big and holding her in.
