How to make a wool felt picture: beach sea (Aannsha Jones creates)

- "How to make a wool felt picture: beach sea" is an easy tutorial that gives you details of all you need to learn to make a picture using the wet felting technique. By placing different coloured layers of wool rovings and silk tops, and different kinds yarns - you can create a great beach and sea felt painting that also has shells and coral effects.
At the beginning I show you a few other more detailed felt pictures I have made, giving you an idea of what can be achieved.
This project is a great little picture - fairly simple and quick to put together, but at the same time giving you a beautiful sea felt 'painting'. It shows you how a simple design layout can actually be very effective.
See how each layer is built up so you get good depth of colour, and then how to put the finishing touches on for the details.
All materials you need are listed below (and also affiliate links). I used soft Merino wool for this project, which is such a wonderful, soft fibre that felts easily.

New to felting, I love acrylic painting, and all yarn work, and thought why not try this? I made a few 3-D animals, but the felt painting seems like a great deal,of fun! And your work is beautiful and video instruction is great. I’ll give a small piece a try. Thank you for sharing. (Michigan USA)

Thank you.
I live in Brisbane Australia ,I want to start felting but can't decide which supplier is better .Could you please give me advice about supplyes
Olga Sokhoshko I use Highland Cottage Crafts who have a shop on eBay
This is beautiful - one question - doesn't it smell of vinegar after the final rinse? I never have never seen the vinegar step before. Or do you rinse out the vinegar with a final rinse of water afterwards. What does the vinegar do?
You only put a splash of vinegar in the final rinse water. This ensures that the wool has a slightly more acidic state which is better for it. The soap is alkaline and putting a splash of vinegar in the final rinse water helps in case some of the soap wasn't all removed by rinsing
Oh I just found you on this video, I so loved the whole piece. Where do you purchase your wool rovings and pieces and silk blends? TFS ❤️👍
Beth Schuler oh thank you! Actually I answered this same question in the previous comment and get a lot of my rovings on line from Highland Cottage Crafts on EBay 🙂
loved your video! it was so helpful.! i was just wondering why you have to put a sheet over the wool to rub it? and why not just rub without a sheet on top. thanks :)
Thanks Zoe! You have to put the gauze sheet over the wool to begin with, because the wool is so fine and so easily moved until it begins to felt, the sheet keeps it in place better. :)
@@AannshaJones ohh right makes sense haha. thanks so much!!
What alternative soap can be use besides Olive soap? Can any bar soap will do?
Yes, any bar soap will do. Some people also use dish washing soap. I prefer the olive oil soap because it is slightly easier on the skin (if you're going to be felting a lot and not using gloves).
@@AannshaJones Thank you! Lovely artwork. Inspired me to do the same!
Fantastic video! Thank you. Could you please give an indication of the shrinkage? Thank you
Thank you! The shrinkage for this piece was about 30 percent. :) I'd suggest doing a test piece using the rovings you'll use for your own work, because the different wools do vary.
@@AannshaJones Thank you! :-)
Lovely job. May I ask why vinegar?
Hi Guli h, good question. Wool is an animal fibre and lasts better in a slightly acid condition. Using soap to felt the material stresses the fibres which open and hook together (which is how felt is made). But even after rinsing with water the soap leaves the wool alkaline. Adding a little vinegar to the final rinse helps restore the best pH balance for your material.
@@AannshaJones thanks a lot. Best wishes
Why doesn't it fall apart when you rub it?
Kim
Good question and so sorry to have only just seen it! Wool fibres have little barbs on them and when you stress them with soapy water they open up and hook into each other. So the first stage where you're very gently and lightly rubbing through the gauze protective sheet, you are helping the individual strands to hook together. That is the felting stage. After you've done a pinch test to ensure there are no loose fibres, you can take the gauze off and work the material (that it now is) more firmly. This is the fulling stage.
My school used this video to help us do this the other week 😂 So I searched this vid up and found it 😂 I’m really weird 😂😂😂
That's so cool! Thanks for letting me know :D
Aannsha Jones no problem!
This is my other channel 😂
I do wonder if I could do something of this sort but instead use the needle felting method for doing this type of abstract art. If anyone thinks this could be done then do let me know.
I am sure this could be done with needle felting Leslie, although as I have only used the technique for adding fine detail to my wet felted paintings, I couldn't really advise you on exactly how to go about it in any detail. You could look at getting a large piece of pre-felt that you could use as the base, and apply layers of coloured rovings using the needle. I don't know how long it would take though. Do let me know if you experiment with this and what your results are. :)
@@AannshaJones I certainly will. This would certainly help with my anxiety and anger issues at any rate.
@@lesliehyde Creativity is always good for issues such as those. :) Btw, did you know that I've also got relaxation and meditation videos on my channel? (I ran meditation groups for many years when I was in Australia). They're in a different playlist to the felt. Do check them out, you may find them helpful. One playlist is "Meditations" and the other is "Overcoming anxiety"
Ma,am can it make with cotton?
Cotton won't felt. But you could trap cotton strands or pieces of cheesecloth under thin whisps of wool rovings.
I found Highland Cottage Crafts who sells via EBay always have excellent quality at good prices with trustworthy service. And lots of choice of materials too. stores.ebay.com.au/HIGHLAND-COTTAGE-CRAFTS
I also think there is an outlet near or in Samford.
