Inspired by Kandinsky


I've been busy working and haven't updated by blog lately. I'm currently finishing up two new felted pieces. I was going to name this piece "In Kandinsky Time" but now I'm having second thoughts. It was inspired by a Kandinsky painting and he was also a musician so the 'time' alludes to his musical abilities.

The background is made from Harrisville carded wool and Felting Fabric. I machine needle felted the background then lightly needle felted pieces of the felting fabric before wet felting the entire piece. After I completed the felting I added hand embroidery, silk roving, and beads. I'm in the process of sewing this to a canvas that I painted with acrylic paint.
