This piece came to me during a Soul Retrieval. Although I do not usually make ‘wearables” the Golden Mantle insisted on being created. The piece is about protection. It is constructed from handmade felt,  cabochons, and sea urchin spines. The interior is completely needle felted as is some of the outside. One of my former students, Nabeela Najaar, is modeling the mantle. Photos by Tim Thayer.
