Nuno Felting or Water Felting

First piece and I love it

 

I have enrolled in a nuno felting workshop at the Lubeznik Center for the Arts and I love this technique.  This is my first piece and it demanded that I frame it. 

I loved the quiet gentleness that it requires while laying out the wisps of wool roving in the design that you are making.  One cough or sneeze and it is ruined.  The soft fluffy feeling of the wisps as you pull them from the bundle of wool fibers.  So quiet, so intense and then bammmm you get to scrub your heart out and take out all the days pent-up aggressions out on this delicate little piece of art.  Once felted, it’s rinsed clean and then you get to slam it down on a hard surface a few times.  It’s a wonderful process.
