“If there is nothing new under the sun, at least the sun itself is always new,
always re-creating itself out of its own inexhaustible fire.”

- Michael Sims, Apollo's Fire: A Day on Earth in Nature and Imagination

Our wish for you today, is that you find that realm
where you truly love to be, to play, and to express.

May you tap into that inner vein that when you're in it,
you forget to eat, you lose track of time,
you are fully present and loving every minute of it.

May you find that inexhaustible fire within you,
and go there as often as you can.

Barbara Wilson of Allen, Texas shared her fun and quirky needle felted Valentines.
I especially love Birdie….no wings, but two great legs!
We also appreciate Barbara’s wise words for the creative process….something to remember.

Birdy was made out of Living Felts Merino Top Silk Blends in Pomegranate
along with green and red Living Felt Merino Cross Felting Batts.
She measures 1 3/4" (4 cm) from the top of her head to her bottom.

“I don’t really have a purpose to my creations, I just enjoy watching the different creations and personalities emerge
as I add or remove different parts. I have learned that sometimes you just have to walk away from a project
and return later in order to get a new perspective. If you think the project is not turning out the way you wish,
take a break and come back later to see it from a different view.”

Thanks, Barbara

As always, we wish you happy felting, and let us know if you have any questions
or need any support by emailing us at customer service@livingfelt.com

With Love,
Marie
