I finished another needle felted picture this week. I can't even imagine how people who do detailed needle felted pictures do them so well, but I enjoyed stabbing some wool to make impressionist pictures  This is based on a place up the coast from Liverpool, or down the coast from Southport, Hightown, very gorgeous place, not many visitors go, there are no amenities and it's a long walk to any.  blog post here: feltbyzed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/needle-felting.html |

Hello Zed, your wet/needle felted landscape is gorgeous.. The needle felting over the wet felting gave the whole art piece texture and made it come alive. Love it.

The colors are wonderful and such yummy texture! Did you needle-felt from memory or from a photograph? I've done both, but obviously find it much easier to create the impressions by using a photo.

Very nice Zed. The needle felting does give it a different look and feel, but it looks easier to build texture that way, too. Judging from the picture the walk was worth it.

Great piece Zed. How big is it? Needle felting does take a while but it looks like it was worth the effort. |

It's so 'alive' I'm sure the water moves every time I glance away! Lovely bold colours - great piece.

Thanks a lot everyone I used a simplified photo, Cathy, just a postcard sized print out:  I think it was about 6 x 8 inches. |

That's about the size I normally use…I think it would be fun to try "plein air" needle-felting a landscape. Hmm, wind could be a problem. Anybody ever tried that?

You put all your wool in bags in a basket and it works. use a bigger pad and several needles so you can pin bits to the pad with spare needles.

Great idea, Ann..I am inspired now! Too bad Illinois is so flat and hot in the summer. Ah, maybe it's just cuz it's my home…but I would like to begin with a dramatic landscape. Time to plan a trip! What have you felted in plein air, and were you happy with the results?

Mostly I felt my coloured sheep at demos and sometimes it is pretty chili and windy at the 2 fall fairs I do. It might be best start with a prefelt or felt background, even just a plain one just to give you canvas to add too.

It's lovely, Zed! I find that the larger the size, the easier it is to add details. But then again it takes longer to finish. I love the cloud and the different hues in the gras. Well done!
