A wool felt painting
Or a gift pack?
Can you advise me what to do with this?
Recently I like to do wool painting. I referred to the collection of the renowned contemporary Chinese painter Wu Guan Zhong (吳冠中) and made this.
Wu Guan Zhong is one of the best known Chinese painters. ![]()
I love his paintings of natural scenery, simple but powerful abstract forms.
Steps of wool felt painting side one
1. First laid wool to make a bag with foam resist;
2. Wet with soap water, laid the prefelt of houses with needle to "paint";
3. Semi "painted" houses ;
4. Finally put on trees, grasses and do the rubbing and felting;
5. That's the look but I can't nor intended to do the same as original.
The other side I intended to make it differently with the theme of "sky, cloud and sea". I put the white silk scrap to make the nuno felt as cloud and enclosed a shell. After all finished I opened to show the shell.
Two sided bag
What to do with this bag? Just as a painting put aside?
Or a bag for toiletries?
Or put a glass inside to make it as a vase?
Anyway, this is a practice of wool painting and bag making.
