Sleeping order Black Bear Felted Wool Painting Framed Matted Woodland Moon And Stars Night Sky Hand Felted Fiber Art Mixed Media Nature

This is a wet felted and needle felted painting in beautiful merino wool fibers. I am in love with this medium and can't stop making them. I live in Tennessee and use our Black Bears as a favorite subject of mine.

I begin by making the painting in layers of beautiful merino wool, wool nepps and locks. When I am satisfied with the layout I begin the soapy sudsy wet felting method. It's rubbed and then rolled and rolled until all the fibers hook together. Then order it dries. The next day I start the needle felting layer of the painting to add all the detail. This is done by using barbed felting needles that also cause the dry wool to intermingle and become felt. Then I tweak the whole painting with my felting needle until I feel the painting is done. It gives me such joy to create fiber art with my hands. The felt painting is very soft to touch.

This Sleeping Bear Under the Moonlight wool painting will come framed in a white shadow box frame. It allows the Bear painting to sit back a bit further. I added a black mat which really makes it pop. It measures11 inches by 14 inches. The frame is actually a bright white as well as the background and the moon. The pics with the unframed best represent the wool painting. Glass is not necessary. If you should decide to add glass, it should not touch the wool because it will eventually cause fogging.

This wool felt painting will be shipped USPS in a sturdy flat container.
