Painting with Wool; an Introduction:

For this project, if you have not bought one of my kits, you will need:

• a plastic sheet for the table or worktop

• a large, old towel for working on, and another for drying the work

• a sushi mat, or large sheet of bubble wrap

• gauze or an old net curtain, cut to size

• a water spray bottle, or to recycle, use a plastic milk bottle and pierce the lid with holes (please make sure an adult does this)

• soap flakes (olive oil soap is best as it is hypoallergenic, but grating any soap will work just as well)

• bar of soap - olive oil if possible - using the one you have just grated some flakes from

• your chosen wool tops or roving for your painting

• if you want to, an apron to keep your clothes dry!

Supplies:

  Select the Colours That You Wish to Work With…

For wet felting, you can use softer wool, such as Merino, or Blue-faced Leicester, but not coare wool, which takes longer to fuse together when wet felting.

I supply all the colours you need in my kits, but you can buy from local suppliers or craft shops too.
