'Moth Balls' by Mary Mcintosh
'The series of six 'Moth Balls' were made for an exhibitionby the Group Textile Connections and previously exhibited at the Guildhall, Bury St Edmunds in July 2024. They were entered into the STARS challenge as they fitted the brief to make a non practical 3D piece of work .
Each moth is inspired by a real example found in nature and are stitched onto soluble fabric using LOTS of thread before dissolving, Some have wired antennae. Each moth is mounted onto a wooden ball which has been needle felted using merino wool tops.
