Now it is very popular to make pictures from wool using the dry method (not felting). Unspun wool is used to create paintings. The paintings are made with tweezers and scissors.

Painting with wool- this is a special way of creating a painting canvas without the use of brushes, paints, pencils or water, by laying out colored sheep's wool in layers.

We offer a master class from Alexandra Fedorova "Poppies".

To draw a picture with wool, we need:

- clamping frame of the right size(it consists of hardboard (hardboard), glass, clamps), I have a size of 21x30cm

- fleece or flannel(as a substrate)

- scissors(to cut wool)

- tweezers(for laying out small details)

- wool of different colors(you can use any other colors for the background (I used the following - light yellow, yellow, orange, pink, green); for the poppies themselves, only 2 colors were used - bright red (scarlet) and dark red; for foliage, boxes and stems need green, yellow-green (or just light green - any shade) and brown wool)

Working hours: 2-3 hours

Complexity: 1 ( the master class is recommended for beginners, without experience in this technique ).

photos 2 and 3. This is a ready-made background for poppies. Detailed description laying out the background (the background of the picture) can be seen in the master class "WINTER NIGHT" - this is a fairly easy, preparatory stage in drawing a picture with wool. If something is not entirely clear, write, call - I will answer.

Colors can be taken completely different (for example, a green and blue background would look very nice). I just wanted to take a positive yellow color for my painting.

photo 4. To form a poppy stem, we take a strand of wool (2 shades of green).

photo 5. We twist this strand and get a stalk.

photo 6. We lay the resulting stems on the work surface (background of the picture), while bending them in the right places.

photo 7. To form poppy petals, you need a strand (quite wide, of medium thickness) of scarlet wool.

photos 8 and 9. Cut out the petals of the desired shape from this strand:

photo 10. We lay the finished petals on the surface and get such a flower (more precisely, the shape of the flower - the petals are not really visible yet).

photo 11. In order for the flower to get volume and the petals to become visible, you will need dark red wool. Highlight with dark wool lower part flower and draw veins. This is done very simply - pluck thin strands and put them in the right place.

photo 12. Do not forget to apply glass - under it you see the final result of your work

photo 13. If you feel that you need to add more dark color - add, do not be afraid; extra strands can always (neatly) be removed.

photo 14. As a result, such a flower is obtained. There is already a form and volume.

photo 15. Lay out the second and all subsequent flowers in the same way.

photo 16. To draw a poppy bud, you need wool of 2 colors (scarlet and green).

photo 17. We fold a strand of scarlet wool in half (we do the same with green):

photo 18

photo 20. The box (lower round part) is formed like poppy petals - it is cut from a strand of green (several shades of green). To make a "lid" ( top part), a strand of green and brown wool is cut and stacked, as in the photo.

photo 21. Now we lay out the already fading poppy flower, where the formed box with seeds will already be visible. The flower is formed in exactly the same way as the previous ones (all the petals are cut out), only the petals farthest from us are laid out first. Then we lay out the box directly on them, and close them with poppy petals closest to us (photo 22). And yet, of course, you need to add a dark red color to the base of the flower and in some places along the petals - so that you feel the volume and the petals are more noticeable.

photo 23. And here is the finished composition.

The green leaves of the poppy are drawn very easily, intuitively - you tear off short strands and lay them in a "ladder", forming carved leaves.

photo 24. Please note: along the contour of the poppy petals (upper edges), a dark red frame has been added in the form of a thin strand-thread. The question is, for what? In order for the petals themselves (their contour) to have a clearer rounded shape. If this is not done, then upon closer examination of the picture, the upper edges of the petals will be "torn" (but this, in principle, is not very striking). And so by adding a dark red outline, the effect of "torn edges" is noticeably smoothed out.

I love wet felting. Just look at this gorgeous poppy! The author of the master class is Yulianna O. Further, all the words of the author.
So, we need:
unspun merino wool, 15-20 grams of red and a little green, viscose or silk fibers, yarn for stamens, bubble wrap, synthetic mesh, bamboo mat, vibrating sander, hot soapy water, salvitosis, felting needle No. 38, car sponge.

To begin with, we cover the table (or how I roll in the bathroom on plywood along the entire length of the bath) with a pimply film.
We take the wool in the left hand and gently pull the strand with the right (do not tear it off). Here is such a strand.

We tuck the edge

and put on a pimple

without gaps around

We correct the edges, and take black viscose and carefully lay out from the middle to the edges

We cover all this beauty with a grid

And prepare a hot soapy solution (I work with fairies, any liquid soap will do)

Gently pour our layout with a solution and press it with your hand

Next, we take a vibro-grinder and, with gentle movements for several seconds, put it on the layout and lift it up (we don’t carry it)

Having processed the entire surface, carefully lift the mesh (both wool and viscose can be attached to it)

We lifted the mesh, tore off what had time to lie down and, having covered the layout with the mesh, we repeat the procedure with a thin section. machine, but more actively.
Next, remove the grid and cover our poppy with a bubble wrap

Now we are already working actively, in different directions we carry the car along the bump, and so for about 5 minutes.
Next, we set aside the typewriter, we will no longer need it. We will rub the layout a little with the handles (along the bump)

We shoot the film, the process of rolling has begun, but slowly, we will speed it up

We take a bamboo rug and, together with a puffy, roll our layout into a roll and begin to actively roll

Ride, deployed, it turned out something unsightly

straightening

We twist again and repeat this many times, in different directions, so that the shrinkage goes evenly, and to speed up the process, pour our wool with boiling water

And again we turn and roll, and so on until the flower blank sits about 1/3

The felt has already sat down, it has become dense, elastic, we take scissors and form the petals of the future poppy


We dip the flower in a soapy solution and actively rub it on the pimple so that the cut edges are covered


Here we have such a flower, rinse well from soap

And the last - contrast baths

Pour boiling water and almost immediately cold water, squeeze the flower in a towel

We straighten, and iron with an iron, stretching the petals, as we like best.

Next, we prepare a salvitose solution, dilute a little powder with warm water, to a gel-like state

and we process our flower with this gel, after drying it will keep its shape perfectly

We give the flower the desired shape and set it to dry on the battery, I adapted the well-known item for washing lingerie for this

While the flower is drying, let's take care of the core of the poppy, make a ball using the dry felting method, take a small strand of green wool and fold it into a ball


And actively (we take care of our fingers, the needles are sharp, and we have only one handle, our own, relatives) we form a ball with a needle

The ball should turn out to be quite dense and suitable in size to the flower, then we take the Needle and black threads and form the core


The core is ready, let's make stamens, I wanted something shaggy, I bought this yarn

cut the yarn into pieces of the same length

fasten with a thread with a needle in the middle all this beauty and sew to the core

In the meantime, our poppy has dried up a little, we sew a core with stamens in the center

The poppy is almost ready, it remains to sew the base for the brooch and dry it, it turned out such a beauty in just 2 hours

Try it and you will surely succeed! Good luck and inspiration to you in your work.

Woolen painting for those who do not have an artistic gift, but really want to learn the beautiful art of needlework.

Woolen painting for those who do not have an artistic gift, but really want to learn the beautiful art of needlework

You will need:

• Photo frame;
• Manicure scissors;
• Wool for felting;
• Tweezers;
• Iron;
• Glue stick;
• Viscose napkin;
• Small clips (paperclips).

How to make a picture step by step:

1. Disassemble the frame. Put a napkin on a wooden or cardboard base of the frame, secure it carefully with paper clips.
2. Wrap the wool of the background chosen for the base tightly around the index finger, sequentially pinch off the material in pieces.
3. Put the prepared strands on a napkin, fix with glue. It is important that the edges of the wool go beyond the base of the frame by 1-2 cm.
4. Lay out the background with a darker shade from the edge corners of the picture, reduce it towards the middle color scheme the introduction of lighter tones. Each strand is lightly fixed with glue.
5. After the base has dried, iron it through a clean paper sheet. The process fixes the wool after only two strokes of the hot iron.
6. We also consistently lay out further plucked strands of the selected pattern. We iron each element of the picture through a blank sheet of paper.
7. We remove excess hairs with scissors. Visually, a drawing to give volume can be made by rolling the strands in the palm of your hand in one direction. If you twist in different directions, the strand unwinds.
8. After finishing the picture, iron it again with an iron, this will remove the volume and excess hairiness. We cut off excess hairs and inaccurate contours with nail scissors.

Put the glass gently on the picture, cut off the hairs along the edges. Close frame.

What tools are needed

For work you will need:

1. First of all, the basis of the future picture is needed - a glass frame 30 by 40 cm, you can focus on the size of an ordinary A4 paper sheet. A regular photo frame will do.
2. In order to fix the original material, we use viscose napkins or fleece.
3. When applying smaller parts of the wool, aligning the details, tweezers come in handy.
4. You can cut off excess hairs without disturbing the ornament with nail scissors. Stationery scissors come in handy for coarser cuts of the material.
5. Adjustable iron - for smoothing individual picture elements.
6. Dry glue pencil will perfectly fix the constituent details of the picture.

to create masterpieces you need certain tools

In the technique of dry felting, types of wool are widely used:

1. Sliver is a white woolen thread that does not have guard hairs. Suitable as a basis for drawing.
2. Troitskaya - coarse, dyed factory-made wool, many thick fibers. It is mainly used for making toys.
3. Merino sheep's wool is a uniform color, consists of thin and soft to the touch curls. It is characterized by elasticity. Widely used in felting technique.
4. Mohair is the wool of the angora goat. Light, silky, with long villi.
5. Semenovskaya - the composition uses angora wool and Australian merino. Factory painting in warmer tones, awn fibers come across.
6. New Zealand sheep is characterized by an exceptional white tint. Thin and strong, long and wavy. It has antibacterial properties, hypoallergenic. Excellent heat retention, used in the manufacture of blankets.
7. Carded cotton wool has a loose structure, lends itself well to rolling. Wool paintings give a watercolor effect.

DIY wool watercolor

When creating a painting Winter forest in the morning" use carded cotton or felt.

Necessary:

2. From a piece of white wool, make strands, pulling them out by the last hairs of the skein.
3. On the base, lay out horizontally, then vertically matched colors of the blue background of the picture, forming the sky. The cardboard base should not be translucent. Make the edges of the hairs of the strand protrude beyond the base.
4. In the right corner of the picture, put a white spool, on top of it are several hairs of a blue-blue hue. It turns out a white oval of the winter sun, covered with clouds.
5. To make the pattern smooth, periodically in the process of work we press the laid out wool with our hand.
6. Pulling hairs out of a woolen skein, by rolling them with our hands we form flagella - an image of a clear line of an image of a tree and branches.
7. Depicting voluminous hats snow on the branches of trees, with scissors we finely chop chaotic woolen shavings ranging in size from 2 to 3 mm. Here you can put barely noticeable pellets of red mountain ash under the white background of snow.
8. Applying glass to the picture, lightly press down on the drawing, this will allow you to see inaccuracies for their subsequent elimination.
9. If desired, you can make animals in the picture or a bird sitting on a tree by forming the appropriate color of the flagella and fluffing them in the middle. Use black wool for the nose and eyes.

Wool painting: mk how to create a flower

The composition is quite accessible for creativity by children's hands under the competent adjustment of adults. If you follow the instructions, working with wool will seem like an exciting and unusual game.

Necessary:

• Kleimerny frame (with clips);
• Interlining for the substrate;
• Scissors;
• Tweezers;
• Six for a background of white and light yellow;
• Wool for drawing (shades of green, colors of the future flower).

The composition is quite accessible for creativity by children's hands under the competent adjustment of adults.

What to do:

1. Draw the white background of the image. Pulling the woolen thread from the skein, fluff it a little with your fingers and lay it on the base, fix the first layer with glue.
2. At the bottom of the picture, make a mixture of yellow and white villi, starting from half of the picture.
3. Lay out the grass with pieces of wool, cutting them randomly with 3 mm scissors.
4. We form the stem of the flower. Pinch off a few villi of different shades of green. Twist them with your palms into a twig. Put on the image, carefully shape the stem with tweezers.
5. To form the petals, take a wide strand of the desired color. Spread the fibers well in the palm of your hand. Outline required size petal, cut with scissors at both ends.
6. Put the petal on the surface, push the fibers apart with tweezers.
7. In the middle of the flower put a small skein of wool knitted into a circle. To give the flower a graceful naturalness, add a pair of villi of an adjacent color scheme to each petal.
8. Wool of a darker shade can shade the contours of the flower image.
9. During work, periodically apply glass to the drawing. This is to ensure a snug fit of the wool and allow timely detection of an error in the execution of the picture. After finishing, clamp the picture under glass with kleimers, cut off excess wool around the edges.

Without limiting the child's imagination, flowers of other colorings can be added to the same picture. For example, chrysanthemums are organically suited to bright red poppies. The multi-stage petals of such a flower are easy to make by twisting wool of similar shades with thin flagella and overlapping each other. And by slightly twisting the tips of the three petals with tweezers, you can depict a tulip.

Do-it-yourself light autumn landscape felted from wool

Drawing autumn and nature, we take thin felt and Trinity wool as a base. To create a believable effect, it is recommended to cut the leaves before forming flagella-trees in the picture. This format visually creates a distance of the image in the work.

You will need:

drawing autumn landscape, under the base we take thin felt and trinity wool

How to do:

1. We cover the entire felt substrate with a light shade, leaving a little white background. Strands must be laid out in a horizontal order.
2. Lay out the sketch of the drawing itself in a darker tone, adjusting the height of the woolen strands with tweezers.
3. We form the decor element of tree branches in the appropriate brown tone, twisting them into stripes with our palms. When superimposing on the image, correct with tweezers and press down with your hand.
4. Leaves - we cut pieces of wool with scissors immediately onto the image, removing excess hairs with tweezers. When forming leaflets, we use three different colors to give credibility to the drawing.
5. Form the fruits of the tree into small pellets, scattering them over the branches.
6. Around the image - a tree with leaves, you can make a small lawn by mixing the hairs of brown and green wool. We form flower petals in small pieces, and opening buds - in spools.
7. Before placing the design under the glass, touch up the hairs of the wool again.

Finished work covered with glass and framed.

It is quite possible that summer in the middle lane will someday come. So, it still makes sense to put bread kvass. It will take at least a week to prepare a good starter, and as weather forecasters promise, just by that time the air temperature should rise above 20 C (in the afternoon).

How to prepare sourdough
homemade bread kvass

Ingredients:

• 2 liters of cold water;
• 0.5 loaves of Borodino bread or 100 grams of rye flour + 100 grams of rye bread;
• 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar;
• 3 grams of yeast.
• Cooking time - 5-6 days

How to put kvass:

Fry flour or slices of bread until it darkens (but does not char, it is sometimes difficult to understand with black bread: it is just fried or already burnt).

In slightly warm water, dilute the yeast and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.

After 10 minutes, add a third of the flour or breadcrumbs.

Drain almost all the water, add the same amount of fresh water, another spoonful of sugar and another third of crackers or flour with crackers.
And once again insist a couple of days.
Drain again, add the remaining crackers (or flour with crackers) and sugar. And refill with fresh water.
During this time, the sourdough will lose its brazen yeasty taste and unpleasant bitterness, and it will be possible to put drinking kvass on it. To do this, once every 1.5-2 days, it will be necessary to add water, sugar to taste and a large handful of fresh rye crackers to a three-liter jar with prepared sourdough, before removing a little old soaked and sinking to the bottom. For taste, you can add raisins, mint, ginger, honey ...

The master class was held by Urezchenko I.V.

Materials and tools:
wool for wet and dry felting;
cellulose for wool products;
warm soapy water;
air-bubble film (oilcloth with bubbles);
mesh painting or mosquito;
sponge, needles for felting.

Progress.
The whole process of wet felting will be carried out on a film with pimples. From the same film we cut out a circle with a diameter of 10-15 cm. We tear off the red wool for wet felting in small pieces and lay it on the workpiece, first vertically, and then horizontally (3-4 layers).

Irrigate wool with soapy water. This will be the back of the flower. Carefully turn the workpiece over to the front side and wrap the wool that protruded beyond the workpiece towards the middle.

Similarly, we impose red wool on the front side of the flower, but put a little black wool in the middle.

We put the masking grid on top of the workpiece and irrigate with soapy water. We press, tamp the wool, carefully remove the mesh and turn the workpiece over to the back side.

Carefully wrap the edges again, drain excess liquid from the film. We put the mesh on the workpiece, irrigate the wool with a more concentrated soapy solution and begin to lightly press, rub, massage the workpiece, that is, roll. We make sure that the mesh does not stick to the workpiece.

We remove the mesh, drain the excess liquid, turn the workpiece over to the front side and begin to felt without the help of the mesh, oilcloth bubbles will be assistants in this process. This procedure should be continued until the fibers are pulled behind the hands.

We wash the dumped workpiece and blot it with a towel. Carefully cut off the excess villi in a circle, cut the workpiece and take out the oilcloth. We make cuts, forming flower petals.

To make the edges of the petals more sophisticated, we additionally roll only the edges of the petals. If extra villi form on the edges of the petals, carefully cut them off. We already rinse two blanks, first in warm, and later in cold water, and also blot with a towel.

We dilute the cellulose in accordance with the instructions and immerse the workpiece in this solution. We take out, get wet, lay out the blanks for drying in forms. These can be mugs or glasses, preferably with different diameters.

Similarly, using the wet felting method, we make a green leaf for the crown. We make incisions, providing a leaf of natural shape.
To make the stamens and the middle for the crown, we use the dry felting technique.

We lean a piece of wool for dry felting on the tip of a black thread, put it all on a sponge and begin to pierce it with a felting needle. You need 6-7 stamens, and for strength, the felted stamens can be dipped in a mixture of PVA glue and semolina grains.

We take a larger piece of wool, form a ball out of it and put it on a sponge. We pierce the ball from different sides with a needle until it becomes melancholy and decreases in volume. From the finished blanks we form the crown and sew to the hairpin.
