A wise sailor once said, "Sailing is hours and hours of tedium interspersed with moments of stark terror."In those long boring hours aboard ship,some creative nineteenth century British sailors created an art form that is both "wool painting" and visual history. Considered to be the rarest form of folk art, unfortunately, because wool was the material used, these wonderful objects have fallen into disrepair and disappeared. However, those that survived are magnificent to behold. Talk about improvising and recycling, Woolies were made from old worn clothing, ruined sails, lost buttons, and thread from the mending basket probably sent along by a sailor's mother or the captain's wife. This well-known folk art/primitive painter has revived the lost art of Woolies aka Wool Paintings and her work is in private and public collections worldwide. Enjoy full-color examples of old Woolies and her new, but looking old, Wool Paintings, as well as the story of how she came to create these lovely folk art forms.
