For the design process of the tiles I looked for inspiration in the nature world and the native geometries it hold. I wanted to use this inspiration and forge it into geometric cutting and merging of felt sheets.

For this purpose I prepared sketches and bought more than 20kg of raw wool, which I immediately coloured and experimented on (unlike me, my husband despise wool and felt and pretty much run out each time I brought wet wool back home with me). I  spreaded the coloured wool in the fibre workshop into wool spreads and created felt sheets using the needle punch machine. Creating my Bougenville demanded more than 15m of felt.
