Diane Balbi ~  Fiber Artist

I live in the quietness of the Selkirk Mountains of North Idaho, free from the busy city.  This allows me to explore and imagine. 

I have a thirty-year background in garment making.  I have been involved in cross-stitching, beading and quilting.  I found needle felting allows my creative thoughts to appear before my eyes.  Each tuft of wool has a form just waiting to show itself.
 

I felt sculpt with a felting needle using carded dyed wool.  I use wool in as much of my creation as possible.  All of my sculptures are born in a smoke free environment.
