Felt painting

Needle felted landscape

I really enjoyed making this felt painting (and different versions of it) last year, and it seemed to be a really popular one at shows. So, I thought I'd try a different color scheme. And this one is much larger. My husband made me some felt painting canvases, and they're huge! Well, you know, bigger than my normal felt paintings. This one took about 4.5 hours from start to finish, because it is bigger, but also because I spent a lot of time blending and layering colors. There are five…

I had a wet felting extravaganza last week! I have some beautiful rovings, and they were just begging to be wet felted. So here are four pretty versions of a sunset. I shared this photo on social media, but I want to share it here also. These are before and after shots of each of these sunsets. The left side is the loose wool, composed and layered, and the right side is after the painting is wet felted and dried. Cool, right? Enjoy your weekend friends!

The portraits made by the artist Dani Ives seem to carry several brush strokes of ink but are incredibly produced only with wool and needle. The artist's needle-felted pieces are made with great precision and richness of details.

When I tell people that I needle felt, more often than not I have to explain what that is. At shows, a lot of folks walk into my booth and assume that I'm using boiled wool or I have knitted then felted (by way of washing and drying) my products. I always keep some unfinished products and supplies on hand so that I can demonstrate the process: "See, I gather the wool into the general shape, then I poke it with these special, barbed needles, and the fibers tangle together. The more I poke…
