Wet Felt Creations

TheTamshee: returned to Wasp Studio with Sal and the kids to seal the purchase off "My Highland Dream" & "Victoria Street" Grassmarket Edinburgh; these wet felt creations by Moy Mackay capture fond memories of two of our favourite places. Thanks, once again to Moy for taking the time to give the kids a felt master class and supplying the dyed merino tops. They returned home; full of enthusium, to create their own little masterpieces.
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product, frame and all.

Interesting discussion with Colin Philip pertaining to the merits of Acrylic paint techniques versus Oils; but the highlight was Moy Mackay explaining to me "traditional felting techniques in a painterly way using merino tops. This organic medium gives her work extraordinary warmth and texture, while calling for a fine balance between spontaneity and control" The depth of colour was expansive; to transform the coat of the "woolly back" to these magnificent wall hangings is talent indeed.
