Waterfall felt art is of the beautiful waterfall called ‘Janet’s Foss’ near to Malham Cove in North Yorkshire. An original felt landscape painting by felt artist Janine Jacques.
We began our walk in the picturesque village of Malham, a lovely spot that never fails to inspire me. We walked beside a babbling stream towards Malham Cove, unaware that another highlight was yet to come.
We ascended the steps to the left of Malham Cove, reaching the top to be greeted by a breathtaking panoramic view – the perfect backdrop for a picnic and a well-deserved rest.
After our picnic, we crossed the famous rocky terrain at the top, a notable filming location for a wizarding movie. Then, we descended the hill and made our way to Janets Foss waterfall.
The gentle cascade of water, surrounded by lush greenery, was a sight to behold. We couldn’t resist paddling in the cool waters of the waterfall, a refreshing experience on a hot day that helped to cool our feet and revive us after our walk.
This waterfall has been the inspiration for my waterfall felt art, which captures the tranquility and natural beauty of Janets Foss. Now, you can bring this magical spot into your home.
The original artwork measures approximately 45cm (H) x 26cm (W).
The artwork is framed with acid free double thickness mount board in a white wooden frame with museum quality glass (80% anti reflective).
Framed size 69.5cm (h) x 49.8cm (w)

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 as seen then posted out ready for you to take to a framer to choose the frame.
