I have to admit that I have not done any felting for over a year. With the Textile Artisan school I had been attending for the past two years, it was very hard to do the very thing you went back to school for. So, now that school was finally over I took the summer off of ALL crafts. I was both physically and mentally exhausted for them.. But, last fall I finally was ready to start learning again.... I decided to take some extra felting courses at the local Kansalaisopisto here in Jyväskylä.
Here are the pieces that I made there.
This was one of the first pieces that I made... I was really struggling with getting back in the groove of my felt art.
This particular picture I was extremely proud of. I love the way the birch tree comes out of the picture.
This piece turned out quite well too. I learned a new trick to make the picture pop more. I have outlined the trees by sewing the edges in black thread.
In this picture I have added more blue than I usually. I also was trying to portray the snow covered fallen trees. I think it worked out fine.
In this particular piece I really focused on the blue colours in it. As I have written before, I am not a huge blue fan, so I really have to force myself to add it to my pictures, but I am quite satified with this picture.
This particular piece was one of my favorite ones. It was also my classmates favorite one, so guess what she got for her christmas gift.
In this particular birch picture. I really wanted to keep it the picture in its natural colours, and how it looks often in the winter.
I did a few pictures of birches in a more Christmas setting. A little Tonttu is bringing home his christmas tree.
Here is another birch Christmas scene. A Tonttu is on his " pulkka".
