Ocean Waves Felt Textile Art A textural textile collage made with stitched, appliquéd and beaded felt. An abstract piece inspired by the colours and textures of the ocean. Felt was made using merino wool fibres, curly sheep locks , angelina fibre and mulberry silk tops. To make felt fine layers of wool fibre are overlapped. Agitating with hot, soapy water loosens the scales of each fibre. It is then rolled (and rolled and rolled and then agitated some more then rolled some more – it really is a long slow process) until the fibres ‘felt’ into a wool fabric. Felt 'pebbles' were added. 'waves' have been created by layering cut pieces of felt and covering them with organza and netting. It was then heavily free motion machine stitched around the cut shapes and the net was cut away creating surface texture and dimension. White mulberry bark has been added to give the illusion of the crest of the waves. Beads have then been hand sewn into the felt. I love the textural effects of combining different textiles. A unique, colourful, stunning textural art Signed in stitches Felt at widest points 31 cm x 26cm. up to 3 cm thick in places Mounted on to a 3.5 cm deep canvas 30 x 40 cm Wool is naturally resistant to moisture and dirt but can be blown gently with a cool hairdryer to remove dust.
