Description

Your purchase will be a formal art commission. Your octopus will be created in your selected size. A wool loop will be attached to the back, making your piece ready to hang. The felt octopus sculptural painting is hand crafted with wool, using nothing more than a rainbow of wool, felting needles, and a whole lot of creativity. As a commissioned piece, please expect 3-4 weeks for small or medium pieces and 4-6 weeks for large commissions (accounting for both creation and shipping)

Small: 6 x 6 x 3
Medium: 12 x 12 x 6
Large: 24 x 24 x 8

Several of my felt Octopuses, sculptural paintings made entirely from wool, started as lap projects on family adventures from Maine to Boston or . Along I95 in northern New England, eight tentacles sprang to life and then came together as one back in Hillary’s studio in Hampden, Maine. Not long after joining the World, my first medium octopus was a fast favorite at the 2023 Machias Fiber Festival and got scooped up right away. It was a delight to watch so many people’s eyes widen and jaws drop as they took in the visual feast of a 2D wall hanging that brought a 3D octopus popping out of the wall. Truly, those reactions and interactions will never get old!

Take a front-row seat along the journey of bringing felt masterpieces and children’s books illustrated with wool to life! Watch and learn along the journey. Be sure to like our Facebook page and follow on Instagram. Did we mention Hillary has a goal to earn a Caldecott Medal in her lifetime…)

If you enjoy felting and would like to learn how to create illustrated wool paintings such as this one, check out Hillary’s virtual felting classes. There is also a Felter’s Master Class that combines a complete offering of all the feting classes Hillary has created over the years. It would be a pleasure and an honor to be a part of your creative journey.
