LOCATION: Sandsend, near Whitby, North Yorkshire
SUBJECT: Sisters at the beach / Yorkshire coast / Sandsend / Whitby
On a visit to Sandsend beach we walked down the shoreline looking across to Whitby.
As the sisters walked down the beach hand in hand, the sand between their toes. They couldn’t resist having a little paddle.
I wanted to capture this simple family moment and the feeling of freedom and happiness that comes from being beside the sea.
Sisters
The sisters, hand in hand,
Run across the golden sands.
Whitby Abbey in full view,
Where Dracula’s tale still lingers too.
Sand squishing through their toes,
Their laughter in the air grows.
A little paddle they can’t resist,
Sandsend water, clear and crisp.

What is a giclée print?
Pronounced “zhee-clay”, giclée is the French word meaning “to spray”. Giclée printing is a high-quality fine art printing process using archival pigmented inks to produce excellent detail and rich colours, with prints designed to last for many years.

Slight variations in colour may occur between the printed artwork and the image you see on your screen.
Drawing on my degree in Fine Art, I use wool in lots of different colours, much as you would use tubes of paint, and lay out the loose fibres of different coloured wool onto my base, as you would paint onto canvas.
Once finished, the next stage is to make these loose fibres of wool stick together using the wet felting technique to turn the wool painting into a piece of felt. This is done by adding hot soapy water and friction. The hot water opens up the wool’s scales and the friction, through rubbing and rolling, binds them together. During this process the wool shrinks by about 15–20%, leaving one piece of felt material.
Once the felted picture is dry, I needle felt into the piece to sharpen some of the details.
