““Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules,
making mistakes, and having fun.””
– Mary Lou Cook



"I first discovered needle felting in late August. I took to it like a duck to water, and have purchased all of my supplies from
Living Felt since the first kit I got a Renaissance Fair. I have been making soap and candles to sell at craft shows for years,
but I love having a creative outlet that I can take anywhere with me, rather than having to be locked away in my lab in the basement for hours at a time. I have even needle felted at the airport, where people thought I was doing voodoo!

These chickadees are life size, and were made with Merino cross felting batts in black, silver mist, light camel, and bright white.
I always use your core batting for my designs, and that is under the color here and also overlaid on their chests to get that fade.

I figure chickadees are winter birds, and the two of them together is romantic so it hits on both the winter and the heart theme for the month. The one bird has wire feet, the other does not, but they are not connected to the nest as you can see from the photo
of the bird in my hand. I always wanted to be like Snow White where the wild animals would come sit with me -
this is the closest I will get, I think!"

- Christina Northam of Fox River Grove, Illinois

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

This amazing fox was sent to us by Mary Sheiko of Belarus. (near Poland &Russia)
We love how animated and expressive he is! On the detail photo, you can see
that the eye and tongue seem to made from polymer clay. Such detail down to the claws
and notches in the ears. Look for more from Mary!

This just stole our hearts....cute and quirky by Danielle Dubois

A FIRST FELT by Leslie Hite of Baton Rouge, LA
"I just started needle felting last week. This is my first piece and I decided to start with Peter Rabbit.
The jacket was the hardest part, but all in all it was very fun."
