Person
Jill Denton first discovered feltmaking about 12 years ago and admits to being addicted ever since. The inspiration for her work comes from the landscapes of England's West Country, where she lives (in North Devon); old-fashioned flowers in her cottage garden; and the vibrant hues of India, Indonesia and the Caribbean. www.jilldenton.co.uk
