Sunrise…Sunset Needle Felted Landscape with Kristen Walsh
About Sunrise…Sunset Needle Felted Landscape with Kristen Walsh
Two-dimensional needle felting is its own art form. In this workshop you’ll learn the art of blending colors to create a beautiful blue sky or a sunset/sunrise. Then we’ll take this landscape to the next level by adding texture using lumpy art yarns and smooth wool yarn to create the land in the foreground. You’ll learn the best way to attach this yarn to your work so that it will not move. Lastly, we’ll add tree silhouettes to complete the scene. You’ll quickly see why this type of needle felting is often called “painting with wool.”
