Item details

Hello! My shop is looking a little depleted because I will be in Brittany for a couple of months from the 9th of July. Due to the new customs rules I can't take my finished artwork or wools with me, but I will, however, be able to take pet portrait commissions for delivery in October, November and December. So if you would like a life-like, lasting memento of your pet, please contact me.

This is a framed needlefelted painting, made almost entirely of wool. We have a lot of garden birds where I live at the moment and the feeder has to be refilled every day. Coal tits are one of our frequent visitors and I love to watch them as they queue up along the branches of the rowan tree, waiting for their turn at the feeder.
Felting is my passion and I use both wet-felting and needlefelting techniques to make my paintings and wallhangings. I wet-felt the background using merino wool fibres and tussah silk, then I needlefelt the shape of the bird in natural wool, covering it in more dyed merino fibres when I am happy with the shape. The bird stands up to 1cm off the background in places and the deep box frame allows this 3D quality to be seen. Needlefelting allows you to literally lift elements of the work out of the flat 2D and add that extra dimension and I hate to be constrained so a lot of my work has parts that overflow their boundaries, like the leaves in this piece.
