Gerda the Goat, By Caroline Baxendale

Gerda the Goat is one of the many whimsical animal members of Caroline's felted barnyard. Gerda stands 5.5" tall from hoof to horn and 7.5" long from tail to snout.

Caroline is a fibre artist who creates 2D and 3D needle felted pieces and also uses wet felting techniques. She is greatly inspired by nature and especially enjoys sculpting animals out of wool. Self taught, she began needle felting during the winter of 2023 and started experimenting with wet felting a year later. Caroline was born and raised in Westlock, Alberta, a small town just North of Edmonton and retired to Cape Breton with her husband in 2015.
