Product Description

Monarch Butterfly Felted Alpaca Sculpture


The monarch butterfly or simply monarch is a milkweed butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Other common names, depending on region, include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black-veined brown. Our Monarch Butterfly is made in soft alpaca fiber with attention to shape, markings, and colors. Our expert needle felters have years of expertise in this craft. Due to the hand crafting process, each piece is original with slight variations. We finish the each one with a loop for hanging or it may flutter about in her new home.

The monarch butterfly is one of the most recognizable and well studied butterflies on the planet. Its orange wings are laced with black lines and bordered with white dots. Famous for their seasonal migration, millions of monarchs migrate from the United States and Canada south to California and Mexico for the winter. (nationalgeographic.com/monarch-butterfly)

 

About Needle Felting


Needle felting is a dry felting method typically using wool with its barbs that felt quickly and easily. However, we use alpaca for a softer and more artistic effect. Our crafters have mastered this art form and now use this media for sculptures, "paintings", and clothing embellishments.   

Fiber artists can needle felt for a few moments or for days at a time. This relaxing craft is now available to everyone. Please call us at 877-Alpacas (877-257-2227) for more information.
