Red Coral Fungus, Streamside is an original fine fiber art wool painting. The dimensions are 8″ x 10″. “Red Coral Fungus, Streamside”, is made with wool, paper, feathers and silk on canvas. Completed in 2018. Red coral fungus is a very rare visitor to Broken Elms. Ages ago the indigenous people believed it’s appearance signaled a year of bountiful flocks. With the passenger pigeon lost that memory has faded as well. Fallen leaves have blown onto the slim stalks. One has become entwined there.
Keeping Original Felt Fine Art Clean – Contrary to popular belief, wool art is easy to maintain. It can last hundreds, if not thousands of years if it is consistently treated well. Mounting your wool art on a wall in indirect sunlight will deter pests, which require dark areas with little to no air flow to reproduce. Dust is easily dislodged by patting the work from behind or firmly tapping the frame while holding the work face down. Dust can also be removed with canned air if desired.
