Northumberland art print of a sunset over Bamburgh Castle from Holy Island. A limited edition art print of 95, by felt artist Janine Jacques.

“Sunset over Bamburgh Castle”, Northumberland

We love Northumberland and have been quite a few times over the last 7 years.

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 look up the tide times so you can drive across the causeway to the island.

This is the view from Holy Island, near the lookout tower. You look over the water at the shoreline and can see Bamburgh Castle, with a beautiful sunset over it. The sight of the castle against the sunset is truly mesmerizing, casting a golden glow in the sky. It’s one of those moments that captures the essence of Northumberland’s natural beauty.

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.
