Hello and Welcome!

 

My name is Ulla Forsberg. I live in Falkenberg on Sweden's beautiful west coast. Creating beautiful pictures in wool technic - an unusual form of Swedish art handicraft -  is a passion with me. Since the mid-1970s, I have devoted myself to my creative activities. Here on the website there are the results. With care and artistic eyes, I let the motif emerge on the panel.

 

Get inspired by my pictures and see different themes via the menus! Here are animal and nature motifs and my production about the Swedish writer and poet Lina Sandell-Berg's life and poetry. The pictures for sale are unmarked and the sold ones have a red dot, but all are collected here on the website. If you want to buy or order your own design, there are contact options at "Meny / Contact".
Note! A picture in wool technic from ULLas ULLtavlor (ULLa's WOOL pictures) is also perfect as a gift for a person "who has everything".

 

Technique

First of all, the wool is made free of bosses and rougher impurities. Then it is washed and colored. Often the natural color is also suitable. In the studio there are many cardboard boxes with wool, which is sorted in different colors. Can there be any softer way of depicting nature and animals than shaping the motif with wool, colored and carded or used curly as it is? With care and artistic eyes, I let the motif emerge on the panel. The wool is not felt but is naturally soft and loose It is held in place with glass and frame.

 

There is a saying that says "Many a little makes a mickle ". In my case I say: "Many small wool-hairs form motif on a large or small panel".

 

Lectures

The pictures, which are located under the menu "Lina Sandell", have brought me into yet another activity: I give lectures on the Swedish author and poet Lina Sandell-Berg at different types of gatherings.
