Original Artwork Greeting Cards

These Original Artwork Greeting Cards make a fabulous personalised gift and can be framed to make a miniature picture.

Original artwork from handcrafted artisan felt made using a wet felting technique using Merino wool fibres, hand spun art yarns and hand dyed silks. This traditional method of felting uses soap, warm water and agitation to tangle fibres together to create felt which is an artistic base for embellishing with detailed hand and free motion machine stitching.

Artwork created from wool fibres is made in a similar way to that of a painter and involves colour blending and laying out fibres similar to how a painter uses brush strokes, the result has a warmth with extraordinary textures. Many of the materials used are hand dyed and yarns hand spun making each piece truly unique.

Focusing on traditional feltmaking techniques, my work combines art also with a love for making wearable useable items, embracing the dexterity of working with fibre I find transforming a sheep’s fleece into fabric endlessly fascinating. I have a desire to make innovative and original artwork with a tactile dimension, favouring the unique with a contemporary and fun approach.

Defined by strong colour combinations and colour blends using hand dyed wool, silks and hand spun yarns adding fine detail my work is characteristic of artisan felted work.
