By textile artist Babette Leertouwer
Ethical and sustainable
Locally sourced wool.
The art supports local economies and reduces the environmental impact of transportation and manufacturing.
Handmade and unique
Each wall hanging is handmade by myself by the technique of felting and therefore unique.
Slowliving and local
The ancient craft felting is a slow process. Sourcing the local sheep wool needs a lot of time for shaving, and selecting the perfect wool.

A call for craftmanship
My mission
As a textile artist, my mission is to create wall art that not only showcases the beauty of locally sourced wool but also raises awareness about the impact of our consumer culture on the environment. My wool work is a protest against the exhaustion of our earth and a call for more craftsmanship in our daily lives. I believe that true artistry begins with a deep respect for the materials we use. That’s why I start my creative process by sourcing my wool from local farmers, who work in harmony with nature.
My wall hangings of wool, invites you to touch and feel, your senses should be used. Here we can find answers for today’s big challenges.
The art of making
My process
Halona wall hangings are crafted from 100% untreated sheep wool sourced from various local sheep breeds in the Netherlands.
The sheep enjoy a happy and free life, and the wool is a rest product for their farmers or shepherds.
Each wall hanging is uniquely handcrafted through a wet felting process, which involves green soap and a lot of time, effort, and meditation.
The wool retains its lanolin, as well as some straw or pieces from the forest. The wool used is mulesing-free and comes from trusted sources in the Netherlands and Germany.
