SUBJECT: Bamburgh Castle / Holy Island / Northumberland coastline / sunset
We love Northumberland and have visited quite a few times since 2014.
We went to Holy Island as a family and love to have a walk around and see the sights the island has to offer. Holy Island is a lovely place to visit – you just need to check the tide times so you can safely drive across the causeway to the island.
This is the view from Holy Island, near the lookout tower. Looking across the water towards the shoreline, you can see Bamburgh Castle with a beautiful sunset behind it.
The sight of the castle against the sunset is truly mesmerising, casting a golden glow across the sky. It is one of those moments that captures the beauty of the Northumberland coast and makes you want to stop and take it all in.
Holy Island to Bamburgh
Holy Island is the place to be,
At times it’s totally surrounded by sea.
The causeway timings are so vital,
To be sure of your arrival.
Looking across the sea to shore,
Bamburgh Castle stands proud once more.
An iconic scene, visible from all around,
This Northumbrian landmark, majestic, renowned.
The sea was so flat, calm and blue,
With sand dunes visible above the water too.
A beautiful Northumbrian scene,
A place to revisit, always keen.

What is a giclée print?
Pronounced “zhee-clay”, giclée is the French word meaning “to spray”. Giclée printing is a high-quality fine art printing process using archival pigmented inks to produce excellent detail and rich colours, with prints designed to last for many years.

Slight variations in colour may occur between the printed artwork and the image you see on your screen.
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.
