Midsummer Night Original Art

Size: 39.5 x 19.5

Sold

On a warm summer night we wandered down to the old willow with a couple of barn cats for company. The full moon through the mist provided just enough light to make the daisies glow in the dark. Time stood still while we watched the fireflies court each other. I brought a memory of that evening to life using wool and alpaca fiber, all felted by hand. It was a special night, this is a special piece. The essence of a warm summer's night, depicted with hand felted wool fiber and framed in wood. More than one pound of wool was used to make this artwork!

I’ve made the entire artwork by hand with wool fiber. Some people refer to the process as “painting with wool”. I start by making my own base, or “canvas” by arranging wool fibers in even, alternating, layers. I use special needles with tiny angled nicks, called felting needles, to tack all of the layers together into the size and shape background that I require for the artwork. When this canvas is completed I can begin to work on the art using dyed wool and sometimes alpaca or mohair fiber. I use the same barbed needles to lightly tack my design to the canvas in preparation for the wet felting process. I thoroughly wet the entire design with warm soapy water and rub and roll to lock all the fibers together into a solid felted unit. There is a lot of rinsing to get rid of the soap, followed by pressing and drying.

 

To prep the artwork for framing, I hand stitch a sheet of carpet fabric to cover the back of the work. This enables me to mount the artwork in the shadow-box style frame without affecting the felt. The wood frame is 1 ⅜” deep, without glass, and is wired and ready to hang. Because the work is recessed, it is protected from dust by the frame.

A warm night, a full moon illuminating the mist, fireflies blinking and darting everywhere. Such a memorable night, the frogs croaking, bats flitting overhead, the daisies practically glowing in the dark and of course the lightening bugs everywhere. Summer. This is a print of the original that was made by felting wool and alpaca fibers.
