I often get told that my pictures are so lifelike that they think it’s a photo. That is the response that I hope for. In doing what I do, I hope to convince the observer that using wool instead of paint is a genuine art form and a wonderful medium to use, and not just a craft.
I have been creating felt landscapes using various types of wool for 4 years now. The pictures are made by wet and needle felting the wool fibers together using soap, water, and lots of agitation. I love being out in nature and I often use where I live in Scotland as inspiration for my creations.
I enjoy using various types of wool to show the different textures in the landscape. My favorite wools are Merino, Teeswater, Finnish, and Corriedale wools. I sometimes use natural wool fibers, but more often use dyed wool. I like to think of all the colors of wool the same as any artist would use a paint pallet. Wool is such a versatile medium and one I hope to continue using for many years to come!

The Callanish standing stones are such a magical places to visit. I would love to see the aurora there one day.

They are amazing. There were no aurora when I was there so I had to improvise with the sky 😉

The deep blue of shadows in water is captured beautifully but it's really the light through the shallows that calls my attention

WOW. Absolutely stunning. It's just wool, soap and water? Unbelievable, you made great art out of it! It's so detailed and realistic, must have taken you lots of hours. Now I want to go to Scotland and visit a gallery with your art!
Artisan Felt Studio (Post author) 5 years ago
Thank you, yes that’s all. I’m pleased you see it as art. Do pit Scotland on your list!

I love using wool. My mm made a penguin out of wool once it is adorable.

Clearly, Sarah has proven that needle felting can undoubtedly be an art form. Her work is incredibly detailed and beautiful. Thanks to artists like Sarah McLean, I'm certain more and more people will have the opportunity to enjoy this unique art form. I own a print of one of her pieces until I can convince my husband to gift me with one of her felt "painting" originals.
