Have you ever seen a picture and fell head over heels in love with it? I have and knew I had to have it grace my wall as well as request an interview with the amazing artist behind the picture. Lourdes of NorraBorra creates stunning and inspiring works of art using felt of all colors and shapes and sizes. She created the picture of the horse running that I saw that day and knew it would inspire me to create my own works of art. She has created Vikings, couples, animals, elves, ships, and so much more! Using layers upon layers of felt, her endless imagination and a needle. Here she graciously shares how she started this paintings of wool, recommendations for new felt artists and women entrepreneurs, and so much more.
