In Villa Kivitasku<\/a> there is an ongoing exhibition of art textiles made by artesan Mella Nousiainen. Her art is inspired by the surrounding nature of Lake-Finland.<\/p>

The materials used come mostly from Kivitasku`s own sheep. The technique used in her art include needle felting and wet felting. Her art textiles are available for purchasing from our souvenir shop Villa. From there you can also find other handcrafts and textiles such as felt pictures, felt gnomes and wool wreaths.<\/p>

About Mella:<\/strong><\/p>

Education<\/strong>: Kindergartenteacher, <\/u><\/strong>Kindergartenteacherseminar, Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 1976,Master of Arts (art education)\u00a0 University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 1994, Judicial trainee, University of Applied Sciences 1995 \u00a0Master, University of Applied Sciences -2001, Qualification for the textile industry 2012<\/p>

”I am known as an elf aunt – I felt expressive little elves who protect people’s homes and nature. Kind leprechauns symbolize Finnish nature and mythology, which are also present in the handcrafted art textiles.<\/em><\/p>

The greatest Finnish mythology epos is the Kalevala, which I have received inspiration for my art textiles ”In the world of Vellamo”, ”Ilmatarten ilottelu” and ”Dance of fire”. The language of the Kalevala is rich and versatile, and it is based on the eastern dialects of Finnish, which I have admired as a young girl. Something inspires me so deeply and passionately. In addition to versatile language, nature addresses me as well, which is a distinguishing element in the stories of the Kalevala.<\/em><\/p>

I moved around a lot in nature as a child – I climbed in the trees, skied, and created huts with my friends. Nowadays I enjoy walking in the middle of the forests and in Lapland, relaxing and inhaling fresh air. At the same, I take snapshots of everything beautiful and this is how my art textile ”Eternal Forest” was born. I saw fallen spruce in an old forest where the landscape was stagnant and untouched – Immediately I wanted to capture it.<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/em>Some trees indicate more to me than others. Spruce is a fatherly tree to me, and I feel extremely protectedand goblins, also live in the shelter of the spruce<\/em><\/p>

Through my stories and art, I want to convey the message that nature and even the smallest of creation must be appreciated. Together we create a whole whose parts interact all the time, and we are all equally valuable. This is what the leprechauns of the old forest talk about in my work.<\/em><\/p>

Yet\u00a0I find\u00a0that what\u00a0is important is\u00a0that I can respect nature by using eco-friendly material from my sheep in my art textiles. Shearer Marko cuts Lotta’s, Kille’s, Pilli’s, Pulla’s, Lilli’s, and Laami’s wool twice a year, and I get to dye their wool. I get great pleasure from working with soft material, which stains in my pot into surprisingly rich color blends. I am an esthetician – colors bring me a lot of joy!<\/em><\/p>

Au c\u0153ur de la Villa Kivitasku, Mella propose une exposition de tout son artisanat\u00a0: Inspir\u00e9es de la nature environnante, Mella fa\u00e7onne ses \u0153uvres avec la laine de ses propres moutons. Elle travaille avec du feutre aiguillet\u00e9 ainsi qu\u2019avec du feutre humide. Cet art textile est disponible \u00e0 l\u2019achat et regroupe des tapis, des tableaux en feutre, d\u2019adorables petits gnomes ainsi que des couronnes de fleurs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

A propos de Mella\u00a0: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Mella a \u00e9t\u00e9 professeur des \u00e9coles ainsi qu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole maternelle. Elle a termin\u00e9 son Master of Arts (Education) en 1976, a \u00e9t\u00e9 active comme stagiaire de justice en 1994 et a poursuivi ses \u00e9tudes \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 des sciences appliqu\u00e9es en 195 ainsi qu\u2019en 2001 et obtint la qualification pour l\u2019industrie textile en 2012.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Mella a la jolie r\u00e9putation d\u2019\u00eatre la tante des elfes. Elle appr\u00e9cie l\u2019id\u00e9e que les elfes prot\u00e8gent \u00e0 la fois les maisons et la nature. Ces gentils lutins repr\u00e9sentent la nature finlandaise et la mythologie. Vous les retrouverez dans l\u2019art textile de Mella. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

L\u2019une des plus belles \u00e9pop\u00e9es finlandaises est celle du Kalevala dont Mella s\u2019est largement inspir\u00e9e pour son art textile, comme par exemple, les passages du Monde de Vellamo et la Danse du Feu. La langue du Kalevala est riche et changeante et inclue les dialectes de l\u2019Est de la Finlande qu\u2019admirait Mella quand elle \u00e9tait plus jeune. Sa passion pour le Kalevala ne date pas d\u2019hier\u00a0! Les multiples adresses \u00e0 M\u00e8re Nature au c\u0153ur du Kalevala sont \u00e9galement un \u00e9l\u00e9ment d\u00e9cisif dans l\u2019admiration qu\u2019\u00e9prouve Mella \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard de cette \u0153uvre tr\u00e8s ancienne. <\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Enfant, Mella passait la majeure partie de son temps dans la nature\u00a0: grimper aux arbres, faire du ski, cr\u00e9er des cabanes \u2026 Elle appr\u00e9cie d\u00e9sormais les promenades au milieu des for\u00eats en Finlande centrale et en Laponie pour se d\u00e9tendre et profiter du bon air frais. Elle aime prendre des clich\u00e9s instantan\u00e9s et admirer la beaut\u00e9 de la for\u00eat. C\u2019est par ce biais que son art textile \u00ab\u00a0For\u00eat \u00e9ternelle\u00a0\u00bb a vu le jour. Des \u00e9pic\u00e9as couch\u00e9s par terre dans des for\u00eats ancestrales ou des tr\u00e8s vieux arbres, intouch\u00e9s, sont des instants hors du temps qu\u2019elle voulait retranscrire gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l\u2019art. <\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>

A travers ses diff\u00e9rentes histoires que Mella vous contera si vous passez par-l\u00e0, Mella tient \u00e0 faire passer le message qu\u2019il est bon d\u2019appr\u00e9cier m\u00eame les plus petites choses de la nature. Nous appartenons \u00e0 un grand tout dans lequel tout est au m\u00eame niveau, a la m\u00eame importance. Voil\u00e0 ce que pr\u00eachent les lutins des for\u00eats ancestrales dans son travail\u00a0! <\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Ajoutons une derni\u00e8re chose\u00a0! Mella utilise des mat\u00e9riaux \u00e9cologiques pour r\u00e9aliser son art en prenant la laine de ses moutons Lotta, Kille, Pilli, Pulla, Lilli et Laami deux fois par ann\u00e9e, qui sera teinte apr\u00e8s le passage du tondeur de moutons Marko. Mella a du plaisir \u00e0 travailler avec les diff\u00e9rentes laines teint\u00e9es qui permettent d\u2019obtenir une fine fusion de couleurs. Mella est une esth\u00e8te et les couleurs lui donnent beaucoup d\u2019\u00e9nergie.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Elle vous souhaite la bienvenue et vous attend \u00e0 la Villa Kivistasku.
