I am Mamaecco and my work is mainly textilian oriented. Felting, spinning, naalbinding and knitting. The wool I am using comes from sheepshearing young people from our village and has to be washed, combed and carded. My work is very much depending on the seasons and also the weather. The kind of wool is also relevant, since only specific wool is felting well. Spain does not only have Merino sheep, but also mixed types that I can identfy by handtouching and the looks.
My grandson is the woodcarver in our family, and he is very much connected with trees. Most of the jewellry he makes is made from the trees that he lives with. Celtic knots are a big inspiration besides middleage and Phantasy images.
My daughter is a very passionate painter. She workes mostly with aquarell, sometimes acrylic colour and is inspired by her dreams and intuitions to paint her art.
She is living on a beautiful spot in a fruitful valley with a lot of old chestnut trees around. The connection to nature is very importent to her. This is seen and felt when looking at her art.
