“Off to the Funfair”

Found broken plate combined with hand wet felted wool felt with hand needle felt design. The design on the felt part is not the same as the original plate design, it has been slightly exaggerated to create a new one-off unique art piece. The hunters have left the hunt and are off to the fun fair. This art piece has been created, designed, and handmade by Alison Hunter.
This wall-mounted art piece is mounted with a D-ring which in turn is secured to the reverse of the felt plate with a timber disc so the makers mark (if marked) is visible.
The original plate was found in a charity shop and was cracked and chipped. I like this simple and pretty little plate, the new design is subtle but effective and the two different textures make the piece very inviting.
The concept behind these felt plates is changing the function from broken and damaged plates to wall art pieces preserving old memories while creating new ones.
This is a wholly unique piece. Only one of these has been made.

Plate maker mark is Myotts Country Life, Made in England
