All items by Felting&Painting

Painting: oil paintings capturing still life, flowers, and landscapes in all their vibrant glory. Felting: flower brooches, glasses cases, and more, all lovingly handmade from finest merino wool. Everything is 100% handmade by me.

Hi, I’m Nelly, a London-based artist who loves working with both felting and oil paints. For me, the most exciting part of being an artist is the creative process itself. I’m always eager to start something new, and there’s never a shortage of ideas. Whether I’m painting or felting, I hope the joy I feel while creating shines through in every piece.

In my felting projects, I use natural materials like merino wool, silk, and olive soap to create soft, textured works full of character. The possibilities with felt are endless—felting, to me, is like painting. As I layer and blend the fibers, the individual colors come together to form something whole and unique.

My love for art began in childhood, and I studied at art school before continuing to paint throughout university. After moving to London, I had the chance to explore various art classes, which only deepened my passion for painting.

With an MA in Spatial Interior Design from Chelsea College of Art (University of the Arts London), I’m also passionate about connecting my artwork to the spaces it inhabits. I find it amazing how a painting can completely transform the feel of a room.

I draw endless inspiration from travel, architecture, and especially nature—the sea, flowers, and landscapes constantly spark new ideas.

If you’re looking for a painting to bring warmth and personality to your home, or a handmade brooch to add flair to your favorite jacket, I’d love for you to find something in my shop that truly speaks to you!
