Wet Felted Wall Hanging

Wet felting offers a whole new opportunity to combine fabulous colours and textures.  I posted this piece a few weeks ago after a day of felting with a group of friends.  It's now finished and ready to hang. I absolutely LOVE the rich jewel tones of reds and turquoises in this felted hanging.

This colourful floral wall hanging is a combination of wet and needle felting.  The bright yellow flowers were further embellished with a few sparkly beads to catch the light!

More Fun With Wet Felting!

What a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend!  Gorgeous weather - sunny, warm, still an abundance of colourful leaves clinging for dear life to the trees!  I spent one wonderful day working on this new wet felted wall hanging.  Layers of grays and browns were layered with bits of sky blue and white snowflakes to create a wintry backdrop for this jolly old-fashioned snowman with black button eyes!

I LOVE WET FELTING!

I was thrilled to take part in a wet felting workshop led by international felting artist Andrea Graham.  The workshop was hosted by another talented felting artist, Chris Ferguson, who also provided the group of eight with a wonderful lunch!  It was a truly inspirational day!

layers of raw rovings;  felting embellishments that were made earlier in the day are set on top; ready to start felting

a thin layer of mesh is laid over the whole piece; wet down with water and soap; start tamping down to take air out of rovings, and set the piece in place

lay a thin layer of plastic over the wet and soapy piece; run water all over the top of the plastic, and rub in a circular motion with soapy palms........ this process takes about an hour!

My finished piece - CRAZY FUN!!!!!

Needle Felted Wall Hanging

One of the great things about meeting my customers face-to-face is that I find out where my work is going!  I love to hear that one of my pieces will be "perfect on that chair in the kitchen", or "hanging on the wall in mom's bedroom"!!  It's always nice to know that the work is appreciated, and going to a good home.  So when I heard the story behind the purchase of this needle felted wall hanging - that it was meant to lift the spirits of a family member who had recently suffered a loss -  I was especially gratified and moved.
