Hometown:: Toronto

About Me:: I am an emerging artist working with both needle felting and painting.
I create abstract wool "paintings" in needle felting in my own distinct style.
I look forward to interacting with other fiber artists and their own unique creative expressions.
right now my current website is my blog, but I will be setting up an official web site in the near future. My future needle felted works will be mixed media. I will include them here once they are completed. The one I am currently working on will include Angelina fibers and Swyvorski Crystal pearls.

For anyone in Ontario, I will be participating in the Uxbridge Art in the Park on August 16 and 17. They are also still looking for applicants to participate.

Looking forward to learning shibori

Does anyone use the shibori (Japanese tie dye method)? I am going to be taking a workshop on it and how to combine it with felting. I am excited because I will be taking my art development to the next level. My aim is to move towards creating work that is done entirely in felt and silk using a combination of shibori, wet felting, and needle felting. Once I move into that I will leave the current method I am working in which involves a combined pieces in oil painting and needle felting. My subjec… Continue

art updates.

I will be adding more photos within the next few weeks. The mixed media pieces I am working on are quite amazing. I am also going to attend a workshop on Japanese tie dye called Shibori .. I will tell you all more soon about How I am going to incorporate this into my felting.

At 12:06pm on June 22nd, 2008, Tricia said…: Hi Janine,
I am a little confused over your mention of my textile challenge site, did you try to join or not, I can't quite work this out. I can't remember if you gave me an email to send you an invite or whether you intended just going to my blog to join. I keep seeing the words Request Sent and I can't understand if something has gone wrong or not. Can you let me know. All you have to do, if you do wish to join, is go to my blog: http://lets-create.blogspot.com/ When you get there scroll down and click on the button at the bottom of the page. Please write and let me know if there has been a problem because there is no way I can tell if things are not working properly except if someone tells me. Thanks again for contacting me. Regards Tricia

At 2:22pm on May 31st, 2008, Tricia said…: Hi Janine, I hope you find the site of use, it is early days yet and I am still finding my way around as a moderator but I am sure it will develop. I have just been blogging about what my intentions are for the future on my blog if you are interested, here is the link:
http://lets-create.blogspot.com/ Do give me some feedback if you have time. Thanks Tricia

At 9:22am on April 2nd, 2008, Tricia said…: Hi Janine,
You are felting very similar to the way I do most of the time. I try to have a base to needle felt on to, sometimes it is possible to needlefelt a base but it is quite time consuming. How did you find needle felting onto Linen, did it stay put and did your needle work ok on it? I find that Merino is good for blending but unfortunately it does tend to show the pock marks. I have found if I blend Merino with a springy courser wool then it works better. I love trying to blend colours for myself. I just love colour though and that's my problem I would have a house full of wool and thread if I had my way. My pallete is never large enough. Well keep in touch and let me know how the work is going Thanks Tricia

So which wool do you use to needle felt. I have only began needle felting seriously the last month or so after wet felting for years I suddenly discovered it's possiblities. I am looking forward to seeing how your work develops Janine. Love your colours too. Regards Tricia

FAS (Fibre Art Studios) has two shows set up, but I have no idea which of my pieces will be included. The O'Connor McLeod Building in Oakville - April 25 to July 4/08. The Quilt Gallery, St Jacobs - July 2 to Sept 30/08. If you're interested in showing your work, you might check out Martha Brown's website. She holds a fibre art show at the Centennial Retirement Residence in Oshawa every fall. I think the next one is at the beginning of November. Many of the FAS members are usually involved. Check out her website - www.bluemoonfabricarts.com and scroll down the home page until you can click on the link. I don't think the entry form info is working yet, but she normally has a late August/early Sept. deadline if I remember correctly (but don't quote me on it).

At 12:12pm on March 30th, 2008, Anne Marie Desaulniers said…: It's a good group. We're in the process of re-organizing a little, and will probably be making some changes to the website in the near future. Are you interested in hearing where we will be showing our work? I'll post dates when they're confirmed.
