I am happy that I was able to finish the landscape that I was doing for the Granby Land Trust art show. This is the third year I have submitted a piece of felt. I got juried in both years. I am hoping this will be the third. Here is the photo I was using for inspiration.
This was the start of the piece just before I did the wet felting.
Below is what it looked like a few days ago after a lot of needle felting.
The piece finished...
and framed.
There are still things I would change but I am not unhappy with it and having it be done is wonderful.
It's gorgeous!!!

It's wonderful - aren't there always things that we would change or do differently. That's what the next piece is for!
ReplyDeleteThank you all. I just got word that the landscape won a prize in the art show. My first one. I am still surprised and excited. I have to wait till Nov. 4th to find out what the prize is but at least I know the piece will be in the show!

ReplyDeleteDiane,
ReplyDeleteThis piece is beautiful & so peaceful. I'm new to felting & this was very inspiring!! Do you mind to share on what type of medium you felt your photos such as this?
May you have a blessed day!
Hello Debbie, thank you for the compliment. I am not sure I understand your question. I use wool and various other fibers to create my felt.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the base fabric you felt on?
ReplyDeleteDebbieR, there is no fabric in this piece, just wool and other fibers felted in the traditional wet felting technique. I lay out the colored wool fibers to look like the image and then put on soap and water and agitate the fibers until they tangle together to form the felt.
ReplyDeleteFor showing and even selling do you cover with glass?
ReplyDeleteyou are an incredible artisit!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful !
