We have received a request for information on "painting with fibres". If you know about this technique or know where to find out about it, please e-mail us, so we can forward it to this talented needle felter.
Hi there,
My name is Sabine Laakmann and I live in Hawkes Bay.
I have been doing needle felting for more than 10 years.
Most of my creations I am selling to the Rudolf Steiner community here
in Hawkes Bay. I also give classes for children and adults here at my home.
I am writing to you today as I am wondering if anybody of your group has
heard
about "Painting with Fibres"? I have seen some beautiful pictures on the
internet,
they are all made out of wool, differrent from the needle felting technique.
Please,if anybody knows more about this technique could you please let me
know
as I would so much like to learn this art.
Warm Regards, Sabine.
As we all know as felters, we have all had the benefit of generous information sharing from others in the world wide felting community, and this is how we build on our existing knowledge and skills, and in the process develop new techniques.
If you can help Sabine, and anyone else for that matter, please drop us a line!
Ellen.
Hello Sabine, Ellen and Flo,
ReplyDeletefor my birthday last year my daughter gave me a lovely book called Art in Felt and Stitch - creating beautiful works of Art using Fleece, Fibries and Threads by Moy Mackay in which she goes over some of the techniques she uses to create her wonderful felt "paintings", using a combination of wet and needle felting and stitching. I could just spend all day looking at the sumptuous photos and I like the straight forward and sensible style of writing. See if you can get your hands on a copy.

Hi, sorry it took a while... a good book is :"Creating Felt Pictures" by Andrea Hunter. You can get that from The Book Depository for NZ$ 16 only! Sabine, if you ever come to Auckland I can teach you my technique (I teach picture felting at the Senior College, Auckland).
