Waldorf philosophy prioritizes art and the use of natural materials. \u201cThe whole idea is that the children take substances and transform them into other things\u2014and wool is an excellent substance to transform into other things,\u201d she says. Stubbs (\u201974), who had worked as a painter and an illustrator for more than two decades, has worked with wool ever since, creating landscape \u201cpaintings,\u201d sculptures, and vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to touch,\u201d she says. \u201cThat tactile quality is extremely appealing. It\u2019s very earthy and has a distant connection with other cultures and other times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stubbs typically uses a wet felting technique. Working on a granite counter in her basement studio, she lays different shades of wool in layers, building an image from background to foreground. To turn wool into felt, she sprays it with a shower of soapy water. That opens the scales along each fiber, which then entwine and lock the wool together as she agitates it by rolling it vigorously with a piece of foam pipe insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"867\" height=\"1024\" src=\"\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-005-867x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-121902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-005-867x1024.jpg 867w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-005-539x636.jpg 539w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-005-768x907.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-005-847x1000.jpg 847w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-005.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 867px) 100vw, 867px\" \/><figcaption><em>Self Portrait<\/em> (2021) 8 x 10 in.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll these little wisps of wool melt into one another so they are suddenly on one plane,\u201d she says. \u201cYou never know exactly how that\u2019s going to go. I love that element of surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the wet felting is complete, Stubbs often does needle felting\u2014repeated stabs with a barbed needle that bonds the fibers\u2014to add details to her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stubbs guesses that she has 50 pounds of wool in her studio but only needs 3 to 4 ounces to create an image. She prefers working with Merino wool, from humanely raised sheep, because it felts more easily than coarser varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of Stubbs\u2019 pieces are inspired by nature, and she uses dozens of colors to create them, from deep blues and purples to earthy oranges and browns. Some of her most striking works are landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote magazine-block-bu-pullquote alignwide is-style-modern has-image-focus-center-middle has-quaternary-theme\"><div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote-inner\"><blockquote><div class=\"container-lockup\"><div class=\"container-icon-outer\"><div class=\"container-icon-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"container-text\"><hr\/><div class=\"quote-sizing\">It\u2019s amazing to touch.

And yet, she expertly uses the tiniest splashes of yellow to capture autumn leaves falling to the ground and dark greens to create crisp shadows across a field. The use of different wool fibers, laid out in layers and felted together, creates the sense of an image constructed from a group of distinct objects, part sculpture, part painting. Stubbs often combines several prefelts\u2014small pieces of partial felt\u2014into larger scenes. She compares this process to that of Eric Carle, the late children\u2019s book author and illustrator, who created characters like Very Hungry Caterpillar and Brown Bear with vivid tissue paper collages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-editorial-photoessay magazine-block-editorial-photoessay alignfull wp-block-photoessay js-block-editorial-photoessay\"><div class=\"photo-row-square-s-1\">\n<div class=\"photo-s\"><div class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"904\" src=\"\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-004-1024x904.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-121901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-004-1024x904.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-004-636x561.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-004-768x678.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-004-1133x1000.jpg 1133w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-004.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"photo-1\"><div class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"893\" src=\"\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-006-1024x893.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-121903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-006-1024x893.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-006-636x554.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-006-768x669.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-006-1147x1000.jpg 1147w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2025\/05\/Felt-With-Feeling-CFASTUBBS-006.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-normal-font-size has-magenta-color has-quaternary-background-color\">Left: <em>Allegory: Garden of Good and Evil<\/em> (2022) 33 x 31 in.

A creamy yellow wool gives a warm glow to sun rays reflecting off a river. Orange and brown reeds, which she needled on after finishing the wet felting, define the foreground. Birch trees with white bark crisscrossed by delicately needled black lenticels split the right side of the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another inspiration for Stubbs\u2019 work has taken on more and more prominence lately: politics. \u201cEvery day there\u2019s some new outrage,\u201d she says. \u201cIt makes me sick.

One of the men \u201cwants all the pie,\u201d she says. \u201cI have been constantly shocked at the behavior of those who seek to be in power. The selfish pursuit of money and power\u2014at the expense of the environment and all human rights\u2014is really beyond my comprehension.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-end-of-article\">Stubbs explored that intersection in <em>This Land is YOUR Land?<\/em>, which she created for <em>Ribbon of Highway<\/em>, a November 2024 exhibition by the Northeast Feltmakers Guild in Basking Ridge, N.J. Artists were given a strip of gray gauze and instructed to use it as the highway from Woody Guthrie\u2019s folk song \u201cThis Land is Your Land.\u201d Stubbs\u2019 18-by-24-inch piece shows a group of animals, from a tiny turtle to a bull moose, locked in a standoff with a truck. She created each animal separately and sewed them to a wet-felted background. She needle felted details to the truck and used locks from a blue-faced Leicester sheep\u2014known for their fine, curly hair\u2014to create the foliage on a copse of trees in the center of the image. The finished piece is bright and cheerful, despite the tension of the human\u2013animal conflict. \u201cI think the world needs beautiful pictures,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
