Fiber artist

Fiber artist

A fiber artist creates works of art from fibers of any sort, including yarn and thread. However, almost any material can be rendered into a fiber, and this fact makes for rather surprising fiber art. For example, a nun in Hamtramck, Michigan wove an eagle from silver and gold strips.
