SUBJECT Yorkshire waterfall art print / Janet’s Foss landscape
We began our walk in the picturesque village of Malham, a lovely spot in the Yorkshire dales 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 this felt art that captures the tranquility and natural beauty of Janets Foss. Available as a waterfall art print, it enables you to bring a piece of this magical spot into your home.
A little poem to go with it:-
A walk that was so long,
From Malham village for the strong.
Up Malham Cove and across the cracks,
A picnic and some delicious snacks.
The waterfall looked divine,
The water did surely shine.
Refreshingly cool after the trek,
A paddle and splash upon the neck.
Janet’s Foss, a hidden treasure,
A place to enjoy at our leisure.
The water, crystal blue and clear,
A treasured memory, year by year.

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.
