Please Do Not Touch

If I am ever organised or successful enough to exhibit anything anywhere, I will have a handcrafted and tactile notice inviting people to 'Please Touch'. This is a work by Shauna Richardson of large lion fame, shown at the woolly wonderland. I was pleased to be able to see it so close up, but I really wanted to touch it! I didn't though, as I am a pretty obedient person most of the time. I just imagined how it might feel. I did, however,  touch the sheep, as I didn't see the notice until it was too late. They are Gotland sheep, and their wool is so soft. I used some once to make the hair of a felted head lady, as it was just the sort of grey curls that I wanted.
