#6 - Fiber Arts




   No, I didn't make this.  I found it on Etsy.com.  I was so drawn to it because it looked so much like a painting, but it's actually felted.  Felting is a process where fibers are added to a fabric using felting needles.  It's been around for a very long time, most likely having it's origins in Asia (from what I've read).  It was originally not something we would call art, but here it has become fine art.  It's so similar to a painting that just glancing at it you might think it actually was one.  It looks like an alien landscape, with huge green clouds.  This piece isn't small either, it's 25x48 inches.  The artist is Irina Kozlovskaya.
