Moscow-based artist Nastasya Shuljak transforms packs of wool into sculptures of small animals and other whimsical creatures. Plants sprout from the heads of smiling trees and other natural spirits. Polar bears, foxes, hares, and other critters stare through inquisitive eyes applied to their tiny woolen faces. Shuljak’s toys are an exercise in the flexibility of the material and also a way to bring joy to all who meet them. Shuljak, a former theater artist and art teacher, tells Colossal that the practice of making creatures began when friends gifted her some wool. More

Many years ago I discovered the art of needle felting. When you needle felt, you stab wool fiber repeatedly with a very sharp, barbed needle. The barbs of the needle felt the wool into shapes and thus you can sculpt it!

When I tell people that I needle felt, more often than not I have to explain what that is. At shows, a lot of folks walk into my booth and assume that I'm using boiled wool or I have knitted then felted (by way of washing and drying) my products. I always keep some unfinished products and supplies on hand so that I can demonstrate the process: "See, I gather the wool into the general shape, then I poke it with these special, barbed needles, and the fibers tangle together. The more I poke, the more I can shape and sculpt the wool..." Once they see how things are made, then it seems as though they have a better appreciation of the total work and time that goes into each piece. Needle felted pieces are not something that can be mass produced--at least very well. I'm just a one gal show over here (plus the work my husband puts in). As much as I wish I could make more things, my time is finite, which means my productivity is finite too. Sometimes I'm envious of graphic designers and artists who can make prints--they can produce so much product. They can send their work to shops across the states--out of the states even. I struggle to renew local consignment orders. Thank goodness the shop owners are patient. But I digress. Below is the step-by-step process with short descriptions of how I made the wool painting from week 3 of 52 Weeks of Felt Paintings. Enjoy! 1. Blank needle felted canvas on my felting foam with my 6-needle tool. 2. The four shades of blue I used for the sky. 3. The entire background was covered in one blue. 4. Other blues laid out on the canvas to determine how I wanted the gradient. 5. All the blues are felted down. 6. Playing with composition with shades of pink and purple for the balloons. 7. Started with the the balloons in the back.... 8. And worked my way toward the front of the bunch. 9. All balloons are felted in place. 10. Placing lighter colored felt for balloon highlights. 11. Balloon highlights are felted in. 12. I also added some white into the highlights. Determining string placement. 13. "Stretching" the wool into long pieces for the strings. 14. All the strings are in place. 15. Adding flesh colored wool for the hand and arm holding the balloons. 16. Adding small balloon details. 17. Small detail work on the hand. 18. The edges of the painting are still pretty messy... 19. ...so I cleaned them up with my felting needles. 20. Edges smoothed. (Side shot to show dimension.) 21. Finished! I didn't time myself while making this. It's not terribly detailed, so I guess it took a total of 1.5 hours (give or take a bit) not including all the picture taking. More detailed pieces take up to 3 or 4 hours. It truly is a lot of layering, and it's easier to build up the felt rather than take it away. Does anything about this process surprise you?

Birdhouse My latest creation...a birdhouse. I made a wet-felted vessel using a resist. (See my directions for making a vessel using a resist in my March 2, 2013 ***Cat Cave*** blog post). I then added needle-felted embellishments. Here is what the back looks like. Now it has found its place in our backyard near the waterfall where the birds like to come and play... I'll have to wait and see if any of the birdies make it their home. ♥ In the meantime, it makes a nice piece of felted art for the garden.

Unknown source I couldn't find a direct source for this pin from Pinterest, sorry to say. I was so looking forward to whatever else this site had to offer. For all those that needle felt in the crowd, this idea is quite clever and will save you some time! What's clever about this technique is Step 1, first tying the loose roving into a knot. This gives the ball a firm center right off the bat. Next the 'tails' are simply needle felted to the center knot. The difference between Steps 2 and 3 is the continual needle felting: poking the ball until it is round, solid, and the desired size. Judging from the size of the above felting needle, I'm guessing the roving ball in Step 3 is about the size of your thumb nail. The above technique is great for the addition of wool beads to whimsical jewelry creations. Or how about a unique fringe on that one-of-a-kind scarf? I plan on using this technique especially for the little needle felted eggs in my Woolly Nest Ornament Kit. Who says this technique is limited to a ball-shape? Happy knitting!

Since I'm still enamored with needle felting, the challenge was on to find a new small gift or ornament to share with co-workers and friends this holiday season. I love the inspiration of working on small, handwork goodies while listening to audiobooks or just relaxing in the evening. If there can be a kitty on my lap at the same time: bonus! Last year's gifts were felted Lake Superior stones and the year before, fairy sparkle felted acorns nestled in hand-gathered Canadian forest caps. They were all hard to part with. Many years ago I saw a tiny felted ring bowl for a wedding gift. It was signed with the couple's initials and a little heart. I never forgot it, and since I have a general bowl/container obsession anyway, I researched how to make needle felted bowls. Several people mentioned using styrofoam balls to get the shape started, so that's what I did. Worked like a charm. It's important to keep flipping the roving as you work it, so it doesn't become permanently attached to the ball. Some of the styrofoam will crumble and attach to your work, but I found that if I kept felting, it fell off or disappeared into the wool. Once the bowl shape was somewhat established, I just worked it in my hand, particularly around the rim. Near the end I added angelina fibers and embroidery, plus beads to add some bling. The felted bowls are lovely just plain, soft and warm, but I can't help myself. What will next year's felting bring? There's a new yarn shop in town, so it seems likely that roving will continue to make its way into my supply stash. Hoping 2016 will be the most creative year ever.
