Felt easy


OK I don't normally promote Michaels products, other than my classes, here - mostly because Michaels already has plenty of online visibility. However this time I'm pretty excited and I have to say something about two new product lines.

Michaels has just started carrying felting supplies, "Felt Works" - wool roving, wool felt sheets, felting needles and accessories and bits and pieces like leaves, flowers and ball. The range of colors is lovely, and I know that Jayn will be very excited. She loves needle felting.

The other line is: finally we have some actual art journals with different types of pages depending on the media plans. Plus we have some cute mixed media kits including ATC's and small pads of vintage style images. The kits are all color coded and are great for someone just getting in to art journaling and not sure about how to incorporate found objects.

She has a huge collection of different vintage fabrics that she has collected over the last 40+ years in her travels. I combined upholstery fabrics with antique embroideries, printed Indian silks and quilting cottons, including small scale liberty prints. My daughter contributed a lot of her design talents to the project. It was she who designed the tattoos for the doll's cheeks. She also chose the yarn combination for the hair, to coordinate with the robes. She sewed the little felt bag for the Kokopelli , a ...
