Fairy House Children's Lamp purple
NZ $99.00
This beautiful hand made lamp is wet felted around a glass lamp with Merino and Corriedale wool and then needle felted to create a very original Fairy House Children's lamp. These lamps plug into an NZ socket and have an on/off switch. This lamp measures approx. 28cm high(to top of hat) and 16cm diameter at its widest part.
Because it is a child's lamp we highly recommend an E4 led lightbulb.
Why wool?
• Wool is naturally fire resistant and fire retardant.
• It is natural odour resistant and antibacterial.
• It is biodegradable and very durable.
• A natural choice and healthy choice of fibre.
• We only use wool from non-mulesed sheep. It is a cruel practice and we take special care to make sure that our wool comes from sheep that are treated with love respect.
What is wet felting?
This item is handmade from scratch from fleece. Wet felting is a process starting with washed and carded fleece which is then laid out in layers. Warm water and soap is then applied and it is gently massaged to get the fibres to start to stick together. A pattern is then laid out using different coloured fleece to create a wool painting. The wetting and rubbing process is then continued until the wool is no longer coming apart and all the fibres are meshed together. Then the really vigorous part of rolling begins. Felters are known for having strong arms! Sometimes it can take hours to get a really thick tight piece of felt.
By using this technique and something called a resist we are able to make 3d items with no seams so this hot water bottle is seamless. They are also completely unique, as with any type of art, you can never completely recreate something identically and the same is true for painting with wool.
To get some of the further details I then use a needle felting technique to put in some of the finer details. This involves using the carded fleece and a barbed needle which pushes the wool together and makes the fibres become entwined.
Please remember that computers show colours differently so sometimes the item might be slightly different than it looks on the screen.
