The Inspiration for My Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle Art Print

We walked from the village of Craster along the coast towards Dunstanburgh Castle.

It was August and warm, but the castle in the distance was shrouded in mist, like a blanket hushing it into silence.

As we walked along the coastal path, the yellow flowers in the meadow were brightly coloured against the misty backdrop.

The salty air from the sea filled our lungs. The cows in the meadow grazed happily as we walked past, while the castle slowly emerged from the mist the closer we got.

It was one of those peaceful walks where the changing view and the atmosphere around you become part of the memory.

A Little Poem to go with the Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle Art Print

On a warm August day,
We walked the coastal way.
Cows grazing on the grass,
As we wandered quietly past.

Yellow flowers shone bright in the meadow,
Dunstanburgh Castle emerged into view.
Shrouded in mist, hushed into silence,
Growing clearer as we closed the distance.

The Process

Drawing on my degree in Fine Art, I use wool in lots of different colours, much as you would use tubes of paint, and lay out the loose fibres of different coloured wool onto my base, as you would paint onto canvas.

Once finished, the next stage is to make these loose fibres of wool stick together using the wet felting technique to turn the wool painting into a piece of felt. This is done by adding hot soapy water and friction. The hot water opens up the wool’s scales and the friction, through rubbing and rolling, binds them together. During this process the wool shrinks by about 15–20%, leaving one piece of felt material.

Once the felted picture is dry, I needle felt into the piece to sharpen some of the details.
