Create a gift in the form of a puppy for 2018 using felted wool. The result will pleasantly surprise anyone who will be awarded this masterpiece.

Creating pictures using the technique of felting wool is a fascinating process.

Do-it-yourself painting "Yellow Earth Dog" for the New Year 2018: interesting facts, material

1. The image of a playful puppy is perfect for 2018, as this year is under the auspices of the Dog;
2. Everyone can make this craft, because nothing but a photo frame and some felted material is required;
3. The craft has an unusual "fluffy" texture of wool;
4. The craft itself is individual - a gift will please absolutely everyone;
5. The manufacturing process of the "Yellow Earth Dog" increases attentiveness, perseverance;
6. It is very interesting to deal with wool - everyone has been busy with it at least once in their life;
7. The performer can make his own adjustments to the image, which will change it beyond recognition.

We did not have time to enjoy the year 2017, but on the nose we are waiting for the year 2018, spiritualized by the Yellow Earth Dog. For relatives and friends, the aforementioned dog will be an excellent souvenir, as an addition to an already prepared gift. Get a truly unique thing.

I want to tell you how I draw my animals using the example of such a dog. To work, you will need wool of different colors (black, brown, beige, white, red). A piece of non-woven fabric, felting needle No. 38, a frame with glass, an important tool is tweezers.

On the non-woven fabric, cut to the size of the picture, lay out the gray wool at an angle of 45 degrees, leaving the middle.

With thin villi of wool we outline the image of the future dog.

First, lay out with darker wool around the eyes, nose, ears, forehead. We mark the nostrils with black commas. The inner part of the eye under the eyebrows is filled with black six, cut into small-fine scissors, brown below. In the center (where the supposed pupil) is a white highlight.

5.

We form eyebrows with lighter wool, roll. Under the light eyebrow we insert a twisted flagellum of black wool for the expressiveness of the eyes.

With pieces of beige wool, cut with scissors, lay out the muzzle further. We roll.

7.

The photo, of course, does not convey the color very well, but what can you do ... We lay out gray finely chopped wool around the nose, then white. We make brown spots under the nose with finely trimmed wool.

8.

We fill the nose like this - the top to the strip is brown, the middle is black, the sides are brown wool. Roll lightly.

Like this. Add wool where necessary desired color, around the nose with a thin layer, once again go through the white wool. We apply highlights to highlight the nostrils and give volume to the nose.

10.

We work on the eyes. I intentionally did not make the second eye, in order to be able to see how the eye changes when applying highlights. Under the second eye we lay out with white wool, below with brown wool. We shade the ears with a red color (too light in my opinion), lighten the forehead with beige. At this stage I do not use a needle.

11.

We apply white wool highlights on the eyes to "revive" the dog.

12.


We make antennae from twisted hairs
13.

We correct what we don’t like and close it with glass.

MK based on paintings from wool "Winter"

According to the size of the hardboard substrate taken out of the frame, cut out a rectangle of white flannel. Stick on the substrate (use glue stick). This is the "canvas" for the future painting. "Write" a picture should be with background. Tearing off thin, almost transparent strands from the wool tape, lay them out on the background. The strands should overlap each other - due to this, a mixture of colors and smooth transitions from color to color are obtained.

Lay out the foreground - snowdrifts. Different thicknesses of layers in different parts of the picture also create perspective.

It is impossible to lay out the small details of the picture with long fibers of wool. Cut a piece of wool over a piece of paper into very short lengths.

Picking up small pieces of chopped wool with tweezers, lay out a small house lost in snowdrifts.

Cut a strand of white wool and lay out the pieces of the roof. To make the roof "reflect" the sunset sky, add a little color to a strand of white wool.

When cutting colored wool, complete other small details - for example, windows of a house, a pipe. From a twisted strand of white wool, make smoke.

Twist in your fingers a thin strand of dark wool - a tree trunk. Post it near your house. From finely chopped white wool, lay out the snow-covered crown of the tree.

In the same way, laying out the cut pieces with tweezers, "besiege" several Christmas trees near the house. To depict Christmas trees, use wool of several colors at once - dark green, blue, blue. Put the strands together and cut them finely, mixing the colors. Put some "snow" of white wool on the spruce paws. From thin twisted strands, lay out the wattle fence near the house.

Wrap a thin strand of yellow wool around your finger several times - this is the outline of the moon.

Put the ring on the background. Fill it up with chopped wool white color. Post a picture of a snowy Christmas tree foreground. Given the perspective, the image should be large.

Take a strand of white wool, raise your hands to a height of about 50 cm above the picture and start cutting the wool. Pieces will fall on the image randomly (sliced ​​from a low point "snow" will look unnatural).

Cover the image with glass. Cut off the strands of wool that go beyond the borders of the picture.

Russian winter landscape made of wool can be hung on the wall or presented as a gift.

Master class "Pink iris"

Master class "Pink iris" (photo 57) made at the request of Lyubov (Voronezh region, Rossosh)

To draw a picture with wool you will need:

* Cleat frame of the right size (it consists of hardboard (fiberboard), glass, kleimer-clips), my size is 24x30cm;

* interlining or flannel (as a substrate);

* scissors (to cut wool);

* tweezers (for laying out small details)

and of coursewool of different colors.

Painting time: 3-5 hours(who can do it)

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

Photo1 shows a surface already ready for work - hardboard (below) with a non-woven backing (above).

To draw the background of the picture, we need the following wool colors (photo2): 3 shades of green, yellow-green, brown-green, beige, pink, blue and a little bit of purple wool.

We begin to draw the background (photo 3) - lay out the wool in layers on our work surface. In this case, we use the method of pulling wool fibers from a combed tape in the form of separate strands of the desired thickness and width (photos 4 and 5).

At this stage, we work with a sliver (if you have one) - an undyed and unbleached, light-colored combed tape that has undergone primary cleaning, or immediately take the wool of the (main) background color we need. I chose beige, because. I don't like to work with a sliver - it turns out double work: first you lay out a base layer of a dirty gray color from a sliver, and then you spend time and wool on “laying” this layer with colored wool. There is undoubtedly a benefit here - you get involved in the process, but in principle there is no difference - you lay out a sliver or immediately colored wool.

Photos 4 and 5 show the method of drawing the wool fibers from the combed sliver as individual strands.

photo5

Sliver or colored wool during the formation of the base layer (photo 6) is laid out until our substrate (non-woven fabric) ceases to shine through the wool layer. In order to see this, it is enough to attach the glass to the working surface.

(It is recommended to apply glass as often as possible during operation. After all, final result- a picture of wool under glass, therefore, in the process of working with wool, you need to focus on the image that you see under glass.)

We draw rather abstract colored spots on a beige background with yellow-green wool (photo 7). To form the yellow strands, we use the same pulling method.

Add blue (photo 8). In this case, we use the pinching method (photos 9 and 10).

The method of "plucking" wool is implemented as follows: we take in one hand a combed ribbon of the color we need, while taking exactly the FOLD of the ribbon (see photos 9 and 10); with the fingers of the other hand, we pinch the superficial hairs of the tape with frequent quick movements. A fluffy lump forms in the hands, which we lay out on the work surface.

photo10

As a result, such a background emerges (photo 11):

Now let's add greenery to our background (photo 12). We also use the pinching method.

Using the pulling method, we will create transparent yellow-green strands-leaves (this is more of an outline) and lay them out on the work surface (photo 13).

With pink wool we mark the place where we will draw a flower (photo 14). We just pull out strands of wool and randomly lay them on the surface, while trying to imagine the shape we need, the contours of the flower. It turns out a certain sketch, which serves as a guide in the work.

Let's complicate the background - add purple and rose wool in some places (photo 15).

We begin to draw foliage, greenery that surrounds the flower itself (photo 16)

Iris leaves are formed by pulling. For this, as a rule, wool of several shades is used (ideally at least 3) - photo17.

So we take 3 strands of wool of different colors, mix them together using the pulling method (photo 18).

To do this, simply put 3 strands of different colors into one strand (the fibers are parallel), take this strand with one hand, pull the strands out of it with the fingers of the other hand and apply it to the first strand from which you pulled it out - and so on several times. It's like shuffling a deck of cards.

From the resulting strand we form a leaf (photo 19). To do this, take the strand in left hand(as in photo18) and fingers right hand twist the end of this strand. It turns out a sharp little leaf. We lay it on the work surface, while we do not forget to give it the desired shape (bend) with our hands.

We make more leaves and lay them on the surface (photo 20)

We lay out the leaves in such a way that a meaningful composition is obtained (photo 21)

We draw a yellow-green stem of an iris (photo22). It is also very easy to form - by pulling.

Let's move on to drawing a flower. We use wool of the following colors (photo 23): orange, yellow, purple, lilac, 2 shades of pink, red, burgundy.

(It is these colors of wool that you DO NOT HAVE to take! Take the colors that you like!)

We form a bud from pink wool (photo 24). The actions are almost the same as when forming a leaflet, only we tuck the ends of the strand (they end up on the wrong side of the bud).

Directly on the work surface P We straighten the upper part of the bud with the fingers of both hands (photo 25).

We form a petal from pink and burgundy wool (photo 26).

And we lay the resulting petal (more precisely, its visible part) on the work surface to the bud (photo27).

Let's draw another petal near the bud (on the right) - photo28, and add some yellowness.

Let's create "mushrooms". We take a thin strand of purple wool in our hands and rub it between the fingers (thumb and forefinger) of both hands (photo 29).

It turns out such a tangled strand of wool (photo 30):

The resulting "makhrushki" are laid along the contour of the petals (photo 31).

To draw dark veins on the bud, take a strand of purple wool, cut it into several parts 1-1.5 cm long, take one of these parts in your hand (photo 32)

With tweezers, we pluck bundles of fibers from a strand clamped in our hand (photo 33)

And put them on the bud (photo34)

You can also darken the base of the bud, for this a strand of dark wool is taken and finely cut directly onto the work surface in the place we need (photo 35).

It turned out such a bud (photo 36). Please note that this form is not the final version. The fact is that in the process of work, something is constantly changing, correcting, supplementing, etc. - it is simply not possible to take into account and show all these points.

With green and yellow wool we will sketch the sepals (photo 37). Then we will improve it.

Draw an iris petal. To do this, take and mix the wool of several colors (I have 2 shades of pink and burgundy) photo38

Lay the resulting strand on the work surface, while the ends of the strand (the wide part of the petal) are tucked inward (photo 39). We give the shape of the petal exclusively with the fingers. We don't need tweezers yet.
Let's form another strand-petal. We use the colors we like. Let's add one more petal to our flower. By bending the strand a little differently, we get another petal. And now the very shape of the iris flower is already emerging. And this is the whole composition that we will be finalizing. . Only this time we make them denser and larger, using wool of 2 colors. It is not visible in the photo, but in reality the “makhrushka” is white-pink. lay it on the petal. We continue to "mahrit" our flower. We also add yellow and orange wool to the middle of the flower and to the bases of the extreme petals (photo 50).

Gradually, the flower takes on a more and more complete shape and becomes brighter and more expressive - photos51,52,53,54,55.

Pay attention to the middle of the flower (photo52) - I cut the yellow and orange wool and put this fluff on the picture.

You can not do this, then the flower will look more tender and less contrasting. After all, when we clamp a picture with the help of kleimers between glass and hardboard, our image "appears" and color transitions stand out brighter, the slightest contrast is striking. Do not forget to clean the glass (by the end of the work it will be quite dirty), press it with kleimers to the hardboard with the picture and cut off the wool protruding along the edges.

Painting "Pensive Puppy" in the technique of "woolen painting". Master class with step by step photo

Kandalova Olga Viktorovna, teacher additional education, MBU DO DDT No. 2, Zapolyarny, Murmansk region.

Description: the master class is designed for children aged 14-17, educators, teachers and creative people.
Purpose: can serve as a gift and interior decoration.
Target: development creativity through attachment to most interesting view applied art using wool.
Tasks:introduce:
- with the technique of arts and crafts - "woolen painting";
- with tools, materials and their purpose;
- with methods of laying wool in the picture;
- with the laws and rules of the three-dimensional image of the composition;
- thinking over the color scheme.
Materials and equipment:
- a frame for a photo with glass;
- felt or flannel (as a substrate);
- scissors (to cut wool);
- tweezers (for laying out small parts);
- wool for felting of different colors (black, gray, white, shades of yellow, pink, blue, blue, brown, purple).

Working hours: 8-12 hours.

The order of the work.

1. We disassemble the frame and cover the cardboard with a substrate (felt).

2. We lay out the background with a white combed tape using the “pulling” and “tearing” method.

3. Using the same methods, add shades to the picture with thin strands of purple and gray.

4. Lay out the outline of the puppy in thin rows of black wool. We apply the method of "pulling" and "twisting".

5. We begin to draw the outline of the puppy with strands of black combed ribbon (we move from the head to the back of the body). It is necessary to create the effect of fluffy wool. The strands should be fairly thin and short, evenly spaced from the center to the edges (the “plucking” and “haircut” method).

6. Using the same methods, add shades of gray.

7. Now draw the ears. Lay out first along the contour (start with black wool, then add brown shades).

8. Then fill in everything inside the outline of the ears. Lay out pink and black strands. Add brown, gray, white and yellow shades.

9. Let's move on to drawing the head. We spread short strands of gray on the crown and along the edges.

10. Using black wool and the “pulling” method, lay out the muzzle (forehead, nose, mark the location of the eyes). We alternately combine strands of gray and black colors.

11. We designate eyebrows with light colors and shades. Using the “haircut” method, lay out a clearer outline of the head in black (you can use tweezers).

12. Next Begins creative work. Using different colors and shades (you can use your own color scheme), using already known methods, we more accurately draw the puppy's muzzle (laying thin strands one on top of the other, we achieve the necessary combination of colors and beauty of the image)

13. Let's move on to the paws. First lay out the wool yellow color. Then we shade the paws by adding brown strands. Add white and gray shades. Using black wool, we lay out the clear contours of the paws and the shadow (the “pulling” and “haircut” method), as well as the claws (the “twisting” method)

14. Now you need to give expressiveness to the image. Think about what kind of puppy you will have (happy or sad). I want to portray a thoughtful, slightly sad look.
Let's get to the eyes. Lay out strands of different colors of wool around the location of the eyes.

15. Then with the help of black wool we outline the outline of the eyes. Lay out the inner part of the eye (fill it with a blue arc in the lower part, form black circles and place it in the upper part). Add white highlights.

16. Lay out the black nose. To draw small details, you can use tweezers. Let's not forget glare.

17. We cut off the excess wool at the edges and try on the frame. As long as there is no glass. We correct the work if necessary.

Felt is a dense non-woven fabric made from felted wool. Due to the upper scaly layer of wool fibers (cuticle), their surfaces can interlock with each other under the influence hot water and couple. What underlies such a process as felting. Felting is the most ancient technique for making wool products, it arose earlier than spinning, weaving or knitting.
According to legend, mankind owes the invention of felt to Noah. Noah, as is known from the Book of Genesis, at the direction of God built an ark in which he hid with his closest relatives and various animals from the Great Flood. Among the saved living creatures were also sheep. For a long time swimming, the sheep molted, losing their wool, the wool was saturated with the sweat and urine of animals, knocked down by hooves. So in the ark turned out to be a large woolen carpet.
Then, after the Flood, when people and animals again multiplied all over the globe, felt became widespread. At first, it was primitive and crude and was used for household needs, such as building a yurt. Then felt cloths began to be used to ensure the comfort of warriors in campaigns and battles: they served as a layer between armor and underwear, allowing them to withstand frost.
And an important milestone in the history of felt was the breeding of Merino sheep in Spain. Thin and delicate fibers of the wool of these animals allowed the canvas to become softer and more aesthetic. Since then, felt has been used in the production of clothing with might and main. For example, the most famous and popular felt product in Russia is felt boots. Other peoples make hats and camisoles, blankets for horses, items household utensils and even armor.
In the 20th century, thanks to the cult artist Joseph Beuys, felt entered the arsenal of modern art materials. The idea of ​​using felt in art came to Beuys by chance. During the Second World War, he served in aviation, and in the winter of 1943 his plane was shot down over the Crimea. Local nomadic Tatars picked up the pilot and began to treat him. They nursed him with ritual methods, rooted in ancient tradition: wrapped the wounded in felt. Whether Beuys liked these procedures or not, the Tatars eventually put him on his feet. And once, having already returned home after the war, Josef remembered that very “life-giving material” - felt, and began to use it in his creative fantasies.
In Soviet Russia, work with artistic felt was not common for some time. The reason for this, most likely, was an unofficial ban on folk art. However, since then, as you know, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge, and now felting is becoming more and more popular with Russian masters, whose originality allows them to rightfully take their rightful place among the best world artists.
