An almost Finished Cow

After months of work the cow is now complete.
We love that our cow tells a story - that different viewpoints are independent of others and have their own entity.

We LOVE she is a super cow.
We LOVE that she represents us, we have all had some input into her creation, whether it be us painting, knitting, sewing, gluing or cleaning up the mess the others left. We have all had a role to play.

The cape and mask shows the cow is all about the wool, the craft of knitting and involvement of the community. her super hero powers are all about sustainable farming.

The Head section reflects the farm, the pastures and the sheep on their fields.
The wool at the end of the head symbolise all the bales of wool that are ready for export.

The Middle section represents the label you find on the cow and all the important information that helps us want to buy the product.

The open interior of the middle section identifies the body parts - all made of felt (wool) and describe their functions.
The back section reflects the business end of the wool industry once the wool has left the farm and is a fibre used to make products. The smoke in the form of words tell us of some of the products.

The embroidered end demonstrates the processes the farmer and his life from shearing the sheep, wool types and export of bales.

WE HOPE YOU LOVE WOOL I AM AS MUCH AS WE DO
