Welcome to The Fey Haven

I live in the beautiful county of North Yorkshire, I am lucky to have the sea, hills and woods around me.
I paint mostly in watercolours; although occasionally I also use gouache, acrylic, colour pencil and ink.
I am inspired by the natural world, myths & legends, fairy tales, books, music and of course all the wonderful faerie and fantasy artists out there.

Needle Felted Toadstool
I took a two hour class on making things with felt, it was nice to try something different.
I made a needle felted toadstool. The basic shape was done in class, then finished it off and added the swirls and spots at home. I only used one gauge needle, in future I want to try different needles so I can add more detail.
I am happy with my first attempt. If you ever try needle felting I will tell you now that at first it seems like it will never look anything like you want, it is just a case of keeping going until you get it how you want. Also be prepared to stab yourself at least a few times!
Now I am attempting a faerie creature, as I have no clue what I am doing it should be interesting to see what it turns out like.
