Hello all,
Pleased to see a string of new members recently, which encouraged me to say hello as well.
I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and my daily life revolves around sheep and dogs, and hence I have a deep appreciation for wool.
I enjoy 2D needle felting and drawing with color pencil. My subject matter is primarily the sheep and the dogs, and my artwork is often inspired by the scenes I see on a regular basis. For me the two fit hand in glove. I love to capture detail, although more recently I am feeling a nudge toward 'less is more' in my artwork.
I look forward to this forum. Thank you to the founding members and those who do the behind the scenes work to make it happen.
My work can be viewed at aseib.wordpress.com
Cheers,
Arlette

Welcome to the forum. Your work is lovely. Have you seen the sheep sketches by Moore. I have his book and a mug. I think you would like them.

Hi Arlette, welcome to the forum, your drawings/felt work are brilliant I think you need to add the www. part of your urls to make them clickable. |

Ann, thanks for the lead to Moore and his sketches. They are wonderful, I did not know of them before.
Zed, thanks for the tip, I tried updating and the website one seems to work now but I seem to have a hangup with the blog link. I was checking out you blog (your link works fine, :-) I love how you use the vibrant fabrics and colors in your purses.

Welcome to the Forum, Arlette! I also enjoy needle-felt in 2-D and find it a very relaxing past time. I often combine needle felt with wet felting as well! Now I am running over to take a look at your blog,

Thanks, arlette, it's a cheating way to get good results using gorgeous fabric, but I don't mind taking the credit  |
