Features: Fleece painting is a new type of handicraft that uses yarn as raw material, spreads it like cotton wool, and transforms the yarn back into fleece to create art. Fleece painting originates from daily life, is easy to learn and do, has no fixed teacher, and has no set pattern. The tools are simple, and the materials are inexpensive, making it a new type of handicraft that everyone can do. The colorful acrylic yarn commonly seen in the market can be bought at agricultural and trade markets, with a full range of colors. Buying a couple of each color for a hundred or eighty yuan in materials can create many artworks. 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 art, highlighting the natural fluffy 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 artwork is covered with glass, so it is not afraid of dust, moisture, insects, or strong light, and can be cleaned at any time.
