Lazy Days tutor Denise Moss

I was always interested in the arts and all things creative. Unfortunately it wasn’t until I moved to France in 2011 that I was able to re-ignite the interest and findI time to paint. Using acrylics and watercolours help me create some mixed media work as well as commissions for pet portraits and numerous wildlife animals.

 

In 2012 we brought some alpacas, so I was looking for an idea of how to use the fibre up when I came across the method of felting. I was hooked and my love of wet and needle felting began.
