‘Pīwakawaka III’, my latest needle-felted fibre painting

Pīwakawaka III by Sarah Ritchie, needle-felted fibre painting.

Introducing ‘Pīwakawaka III’. I really love these cheeky little fantails! They follow you along native bush trails, catching the insects you stir up as you walk. They sing in the garden and dance from tree to tree. They have been with me since childhood and will always hold a special place in my heart.


To see my first two Pīwakawaka artworks, check out my gallery HERE.
