Family Fun

The family was at my house for Thanksgiving this year. Well, some of them anyway. We had a lot of fun and one of things we did was try out felting. They were interested in making vessels. For first time projects these turned out pretty good. I think they have an appreciation for the process of creating useful items out of wool fibers and now they know why I am sore and tired after a day of felting.

Midwest Felting Symposium

Today I received an e-mail that the class schedule is up and running on the Midwest Felting Symposium website! www.midwestfeltingsymposium.com I looked through it and I really don't see how I'm going to be in several classes at once. I am just going to have to decide on a couple of classes. Its so exciting to be able to learn from so many teachers and then I know that each of my fellow students will be full of ideas too.

Beginning Felting Class!!!

I am teaching a beginning wet felting class on March 14, 2009. I am thrilled! I've wanted to teach a class to willing students for awhile now and its finally happening! The class will be held at The Dome Center in Roscoe, IL, from 8:30 to 12:30. The project is a book or journal cover and my goal is to help everybody complete their cover within that time frame. I am having fun gathering together all the wool and embellishments required for the class as well as all the felting tools needed.
