Bottle Feelings is a hand-spun and handwoven mohair tapestry created by the women artisans of Frances v.H. Mohair, a studio founded by artist Frances van Hasselt in South Africa's Karoo region. Working with mohair sourced from the van Hasselt family's historic angora goat farm, this charming and delicately abstract tapestry tells a story of origin—of the delicate Karoo ecosystem that sustains the fiber, and of the skilled hands that transform it. This tapestry blends fluid washes of aqua with grounded earthy shapes, punctuated by vivid flashes of red. The interplay of cool and warm tones creates a rhythm of calm and intensity, like water meeting fire.

Bottled Feelings is part of the Botterblom Collection—named after a street in Prince Albert, a small town in the Karoo where the collective of eleven women artisans who created the collection live. Each tapestry carries with it a layered narration-of Botterblom Street, its people and places, of shared histories, and of the individual stories woven into the work by every artisan's hand.
