Full figure of a Green Man based on

the piece of wood he is sat upon and vines sprouting from his
mouth and growing on and around other parts of his face and
body. He is 17 inches tall seated This green man is needle felted
onto a wire armature; which is covered with living felts core
wool and then camel hair. Shetland wool and various other short
staple wools were also used. For details such as eyes and leaves
merino fleece was used. The piece is mainly needle felted but
some wet felting was included in the decorations such as the
leaves and flowers, the mushrooms are made from jute.
