Features: Fleece painting is a new type of handicraft that uses yarn as raw material and spreads it as a technique to restore yarn to fleece and then create art. Fleece painting originates from daily life and is easy to learn and do. There is no fixed teacher to learn from, and no set pattern to follow. The tools are simple, and the materials are inexpensive, making it a new handicraft that everyone can do. The colorful acrylic yarn commonly seen in daily life can be bought at agricultural and trade markets. The colors are (comprehensive), and buying a couple of each color can create many artworks with materials costing only a hundred or two. Unlike traditional methods that dye cotton into the desired colors and then spread them onto a canvas, fleece painting utilizes the natural complex colors of the yarn itself to create artworks, highlighting the natural texture and fine fibers of the yarn. Its unique feature is that it does not require paint or brushes, using scissors and tweezers as the tools for painting. Fleece paintings are durable and can be preserved well. The artworks are covered with glass, making them resistant to dust, moisture, insects, strong light, and can be cleaned anytime.
