North Yorkshire art print, Titled: “You’re Not My Boss” is of the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside depicting a view from near Bursall. An art print from an original felt landscape painting (professionally scanned and printed) by felt artist Janine Jacques.

“You’re Not My Boss” North Yorkshire art print.

This artwork portrays the sheep industry in Yorkshire. It was created for an exhibition at Leeds Industrial Museum, in association with the International Felt Maker’s Association Region 10, highlighting the impact of industrialisation on the environment.

It captures a moment in time with a sheep in close proximity to a colli dog, locked in a standoff. It was this interaction that inspired the title.

I like to put in my 4 pet sheep I had as a child in my artwork, where possible. This piece has been created using a photograph I took during my GCSE photography course in the 1990s, I’ve have integrated my four childhood pet sheep, against the backdrop of a picturesque North Yorkshire landscape, of a scene near Bursall.

I added my friends colli dog in place of my Dads mix breed dog (that was the one having the standoff in the original photo) to reflect the traditional dog breed used in the sheep industry.

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.
