Felted Wall Art
The month of July has had a few hot days that were only good for staying indoors. I took the opportunity to finish up some projects that have been laying around. I experimented with new ways to finish off projects to hang on the wall. The latest piece is this abstract that is wool roving needle felted between layers of netting and then felted around the edges on to a piece of felt. Then I felted yarn on top and added the yellow accent shapes which appear to me to symbolize fish. This piece laid around for a couple of weeks and I decided to mount it on stretched canvas. The plain white canvas seemed to stark and I decided to try something new. I used gel medium and smushed wool roving into the gel medium and then after it dried I put a coat of varnish over it. That was fun. Then I used fusible web and fused the felted piece of art onto the canvas. I think I would like to try and incorporate this technique in an abstract painting using the wool roving. Next time I would like to try painting the canvas a different color under the roving.
"Something Fishy" - 12 x 16 felted and mounted on stretched canvas
I felted another abstract and decorative stitched on it and quilted it and added a felted border. I also finished of a felted landscape in the same way. The two photos follow.
" Vessels Abstract" - 14x12 painted, felted, machine stitching, quilted.
"A Spot in the Road" - 15x12 felted, machine free motion embroidered, quilted.
Here is one more piece that was felted using scraps from my scrap bin. Included are pieces of various fabrics, netting, and threads. After it was machine needle felted I did some decorative stitching and added felt borders and bound it with a purple cording.
"Poplar Trees" = 12x15 Machine needle felted, decorative stitched, quilted
