Morning is a felted painting measuring 12" by 15" with stitched and beaded embellishments, mounted on a 16" by 20" canvas board painted with an acrylic glaze. The painting began as fibers laid out in a pattern, wet felted, then embellished with stitching; wet felted again and further embellished with needle felting; wet felted again, and embellished with seed beads. After the final embellishment, the painting was once again wet felted to secure the embellishments in a solid felt. After drying, the painting was mounted to the prepared canvas board.

I never thought I could paint until I discovered that when felting. fibers reacted much like watercolors.

assorted wool fibers, threads and glass beads

One of a kind sunrise painting to inspire your waking every day.
