Next up for our previews is a painstakingly created piece of art made by Johanna Iles Art. This wool painting has been inspired by the wonderful generation 1 Pokémon characters.

Close up image of the needle felted Snorlax and Cubone

Snorlax has a case of the munchies and is chowing down on his favourite thorns!
Nestled in the forest alongside him you'll find Pikachu, Cubone, Diglett, Charmander, Caterpie, Jigglypuff, and Eevee.

Every aspect of this picture has been sculpted from ethically sourced wool and natural fibres, using needle and wet felting techniques. The thorny vines are wired inside and can be carefully adjusted. Cubone is jointed with thread allowing their limbs and head to gently move.
