Welcome to Phigella

Welcome to the home of unique landscape wool art

Most of my creations are landscapes based on scenes around Scotland, places my husband and I have visited or places we would like to visit, but I do other landscapes around the UK.

Occasionally inspiration will come from something in my head, an old drawing, a blend of wool or nature. 

I create landscapes using a technique known as needle felting.

This uses a barbed needle to interlock unspun wool fibres into solid forms.

I incorporate curls from breeds like Wensleydale or Blue faced Leicester sheep, which adds unique textures to my landscapes .

The process is both meditative and expressive and is done by building up layers of wool,

refining the piece until it captures the desired scene.

Painting with Wool

Wool is a very forgiving medium to paint with and that's what I consider it to be, painting with wool. I create landscapes and other designs, click below to find out more.
