“Shrouded In Mist” 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 the coastal path the yellow flowers in the meadow field were brightly coloured against the misty backdrop.

The salty air from the sea filling our lungs. The cows in the meadow grazing happily as we walked past. The castle emerging from the mist the closer we got.

The Process:-

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

Once finished the next stage is to make these loose fibres of wool stick together using the ‘wet felting’ technique to make the wool painting into a piece of felt. You do this by adding hot soapy water and friction. The hot water opens up the wools scales and the friction (rubbing/rolling) binds them together. During this process the wool shrinks by about 15-20% and you end up with one piece of felt material.

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

The final felt art is attached to a piece of acid free mount board and mounted and framed as seen.
