Charlene Lundgren Artful Threads

Charlene Lundgren  Artful Threads Lorsque mon esprit s'égare dans un rêve et que mes mains oisives ont besoin de créer. Voici les résultats. SIRET No. 882 411 390 RM 86 I cut up and re-purpose.

When my mind wanders in a dream, and my idle hands need to create,the results are here to see. Hello,
I am a textile artist, primarily using wool and silk as my materials to make gorgeous nuno-felted items. My creations vary from charming felted hearts filled with lavender from the garden, felted soaps, and decorations to large flowing shawls, coats, hats and scarves. I think of these as 'Art to

wear." Materials are exotic, and colors are vibrant. I am a big believer in recycling and taking care of our planet. Much of what I make is made from discarded materials and fabrics. I re-use torn clothing made out of silk and cotton and bits and pieces of projects that didn’t make the grade .. I started out many years ago as a costume designer - but when raising my family, practicality won and I became a nurse - trying to do my creative work on the side. Now I am happy to be able to create full time , in between gardening and looking after my animals in the Poitou Charente France. You can find out more at:

Transform silk, wool, water and soap into a fabric that never existed before.

Watch loose fibres become cloth, and cloth become art.

All materials provided.

New piece : well a piece made a while ago finally framed.
Dreaming

Bodies surrender to sleep,
warmth fading to embers.

From them, something rises
spirits untethered,
drifting into the night.

Below, the houses glow.
Above, another world opens.

Which is real
the life we lie in,
or what we become
when we leave?

Framed by Suzanne Briggs of Galerie des Marchis

Rêverie

Les corps s’abandonnent au sommeil,
leur chaleur glisse en braise.

D’eux s’élève quelque chose-
esprits déliés,
dérivant dans la nuit.

En bas, les maisons luisent doucement.
Au-dessus, un autre monde s’ouvre.

Lequel est réel ?
la vie où nous reposons,
ou ce que nous devenons
lorsque nous la quittons ?

This is my almost finished work in Progress:
Lievrado Da Vinci - une étude en bleu

Le peintre et la peinture”

I no longer chase the field-
I carry it.

Petals, sky, a borrowed sun,
all stitched beneath my skin.

In my left hand—colour.
In my back—the world.

Do you see it?

I am not only
the painter.

I am
the painting.

A little update into my world of felting and creature making . I am transitioning to different kinds of textile art and wet felting is still part of it - but not always … mainly because of the physical work involved. I am therefore doing a lot more needle felting and embellishing my wet felted items with my sewing machine — which is happy to be pulled out .
Here are some creatures…

I going in a slightly different direction with felting. While I will still make clothes - at this point I am really drawn to fantasy creatures, symbolism, and magic. I have therefore been doing more needlefelting and often combine it with wet felting and sewing by hand and by machine. I am finding the process so much more grounding, and calmer for me than only wet felting.
Here are a few creations .. some are works in progress

Elle porte la vie comme l’eau porte la mémoire.
Attirée par la lune, elle veille, elle contient, elle permet.
Essentielle, silencieuse, éternelle.
She carries life as water carries memory.
Drawn by the moon, she holds, protects, and allows.
Essential, silent, eternal

A new red dress … felted bodice onto silk chiffon which was sewn onto silk taffeta circle skirt . I have had the gorgeous fabric for years and I am finally putting it to good use. Normally I do not sew anything - it is all felted - but taffeta is impossible to felt - the weave is too tight.
This will be shown at the défilé de mode à Chef boutonne samedi 12 avril à 1845
