Is Isabella Rossellini the last word earth mom? In 2013 she based Mama Farm in Brookhaven, NY, a regenerative farm “that focuses on heritage breeds and heirloom seeds. Our mission is to advertise conservation and biodiversity by means of our choices and programming,” as she says.
Her newest endeavor: Ponchos, blankets, and carpets made with wool from Mama Farm’s heritage breed sheep in collaboration with textile artist Mimi Prober.
Right here’s a glance:
Above: “This blanket is made out of shetland wool adorned with silk eggs impressed by my chickens. The central panel is curls from Georgia O’Keefe, my favourite Lincoln Lengthy Wool; $2,000.” Above: “The Tits Poncho is manufactured from wool from Jacob sheep—a heritage breed listed as threatened. Mimi and I embroidered tits from totally different species: people, goat, cow, and opossum, which has 13 nipples!!! $2,000 Above: “Mimi and I holding a Jacob sheep blanket. This a breed so historic that it’s talked about within the Bible! The central panel is felted wool from Santa Cruz sheep, that are listed as critically endangered (solely 200 left within the USA). $2,500.” Above: “Mimi Prober and I created carpets from wool panels sourced from numerous heritage sheep breeds. We liked the concept that the second you stepped away from bed barefoot, your toes might uncover the distinctive qualities of every breed!”
