Es un honor estar en la pagina de Virtuosas de las Bellas Artes en Instagram, y mejor aun, compartir los honores con mis dos talentosas hijas! Gracias!

Different mediums, different techniques but always having fun playing with colors!

Designed and hooked by Gun-Marie Nalsen 2022

Rug hooking

Hand dyed wool fabric strips on linen

Mounted on a wooden stool

11″ x 6″ x 8″

It is a way of use all (wish full thinking) strips from other works. That is complete impossible, it looks like they multiply! It was fun to do it randomly, but obviously the head think! I like it, and hope to find a Mom who wants it for her kid … or grandkid!

Designed , hooked, felted and painted by Gun-Marie Nalsen 2022

Rug hooking, needle felting and watercolor

Hand spun and hand dyed wool yarn, hand dyed wool roving and watercolors

Mounted

6″ x 6″

It was so much fun to work in the three different techniques. I did first the watercolor, and then decided to felt it, later on I made it in rug hooking. They are not exact copies of the other, but the resemblance is there.

Love to do mix media!

Designed and hand woven by Gun-Marie Nalsen 2022

Tapestry

Hand spun and hand dyed wool on a cotton warp

Weaved on a small Hockett loom

Mounted on a thick canvas

6″ x 6″

This weaving is very special because it was made with hand dyed and hand spun wool that a friend gave me. It was a lot, all colors that you can imagine, and are the snips and rest that came down from her loom. Thank you so much Lynn. It just came out how it wanted to be!
