We arrived on Fanore beach to find it was totally deserted, black clouds in the distance threatening rain.
It was a beautiful beach with a little white cottage on top of the sand dunes. I imagine this cottage has an amazing view of the sea. I imagined how lovely it would be to sit and watch the sea rolling in and out from a window in the house all snug and warm.
We had a lovely time on the beach and managed our picnic before the heavens opened and we ran for cover back to our car.

The Process:-
……………………………
Drawing on my degree in Fine Art, I use merino 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.
