The Art of Felting | Artwork Created Using Merino Fleece | Loop | BBC Scotland 

This really resonates with me!!! I went to Art School in the early 1990's and was told that if I wanted to be taken seriously as an artist then I should not touch anything that bordered on craft or that could be termed 'women's art'. This included weaving, tapestry, basket making, knitting, quilting, etc. It was definitely considered a lesser art form at the time! When I left I became a full time craftsperson working in wood and then leather, and now, in wool as well. Processing my own fleeces, dyeing, spinning, weaving and felting, feels like coming home. I draw on inspiration from the countryside around me and feel excited about trying to capture the changing seasons in wearable art. I love your work Moy, it's beautiful, it was a little bit of joy finding this video. Best wishes to you!

I love what you create and I love that you found your place to create it!

That was so inspiring. I am a spinner first but dip into all the fibre arts so know you are a real artist in fibre. Thankyou😊

This is so beautiful and the fibres are so delicate. Really appreciated watching her mindful practice, using nature as an inspiration. Felting would be something I’d love to try out.

Fantastic video I am so glad that you showed your outdoor sitting area

Thank you, I share your philosophy of what art is. A genuine need to express one’s living experience both physically and emotionally without the trappings of the celebrity syndrome. Very inspiring, bravo. Marijo

I’ve been an admirer for about 10 years, and you gave me courage to be more daring with what I do in felt, especially adding stitching. Thanks, Moy.

Moy is my favorite fibre artist!!❤❤

A beautiful piece of art created through, to me, an amazing process!

Excellent! Really excellent! 💜💜💜

I love your art! You’re right about the color. It’s like alive. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and art!

I love your work and your beautiful Scottish accent. My dear friend Wendy was from Arboath and I could listen to her talk all day long. Sadly we lost her to cancer a few yrs ago, but thank you for reminding me how much Ive missed her and what a treasured friend she was. Cheers from stinking hot FL. ;-)

patrzeć na świat w taki sposób i tak kolorowo żyć. gratuluję, podziwiam, życzę wszystkiego co najlepsze i biorę się do pracy. to co zobaczyłam jest dla mnie ogromnie kolorową inspiracją.

Adorable! I feel relaxed and happier after watching this nice video! Thank you a lot for your job!

It is very soothing watching you and listening to you, apart from the totally cool art process and work!

Absolutely gorgeous ❤ Louise and Emily

Gorgeous,the colors are amazing, the artwork, Wow!

Beautiful and skilful! ❤

I love to paint and embroider. I feel like this is almost a marriage of the two by treating the wool fibers as paint. I definitely want to try my hand at this

Beautiful piece, Moy, and a great short video on the process!!

Your work is beautiful. What do you lay down first to put the wool on?

One of the reasons it wasn't categorized as fine art is because it was predominantly a women's art ... cynical? Maybe, but that doesn't make it any less true. This is lovely work and so inspiring. Would love to find more of this woman's work.
