A view from near Captain Cooks Monument car park looking towards Roseberry Topping. I do love this view and my husband use to climb Roseberry Topping as a child, so it brought back lovely childhood memories for him.
This North Yorkshire majestic rock, is an iconic landmark and recognisable for miles around.
On the day we climbed up to Captain Cookes Monument and had a lovely family picnic at the top with stunning panoramic views all around. It’s such beautiful and special place.
I have hand sewn lots of embroidery into the foreground for the buttercups with a few pink and blue forget-me-nots mixed in.

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.
