The Green Man begins
November 13th, 2009
I started the Green Man back in April, full of inspiration from the Beyond The Fringe show. I cut out the felt background and then let it sit while I formed a vision.
This month I picked it up again. So far my art has featured Goddess images. I wanted to shift gears and focus on the Pagan God. The Green Man has long been one of my favorite incarnations. This piece is going to be big.
The first layer is the Earth’s mantle.
The brown and gray represent rocks and dirt.
I’m adding green now which is the forest, leaves and grass.
Prana has inspected my work and approves. He doesn’t sit on it like he does the mother piece though.
The yarn I dyed will be made into leaves for this piece.
This piece is very fun. I’m loving it so far. It’s satisfying because so far it’s turning out exactly as I’m envisioning.

[…] I’m knitting up my green yarn into leaves for my Green Man. The leaf patterns are from Nicky Epstein’s Knitted Flowers, though I’ve altered the pattern slightly. […]

Abbey-Thank you. He’s covered in green now which is pretty exciting.
