May - Hand Hooked Wall Decoration - Caricature - Political Humour
"May" - hand hooked wall decoration, made as a caricature of a certain politician!
The process begins with lots of drawings, designing the cartoon-like image that will act as the template for the hooked textile.
Then different colour palettes are explored, and re-purposed materials are sourced, cleaned and prepared. The hooking is carried out, then embellishments added, before the piece is backed with mount board and a felt backing with label and hanging loop.
The piece measures approximately:-
30 cm high x 26 cm wide
11 & 3/4 inches high x 10 & 1/4 inches wide
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Cleaning suggestions:- this piece is not washable, but may be spot cleaned, if necessary, and dusted with a hand held vacuum cleaner nozzle with a piece of net or a sieve placed over the end to protect the textile.
I have two other pieces remaining in this series: "Johnson"; and "Rees-Mogg", listed separately.
