"There is no must
in art because art is free."
- Wassily Kandinsky
May you find that place within you this week, where
the judge is absent,
and the child is alive and dancing within the stream of imagination.
And once there, remember, and hold the thought:
There Are No Rules in My Art Room
Then...let yourself play - and most of all, have fun with your art!

Just in time for Spring! This festive and sweet felted centerpiece by
Laura Burger would brighten and enliven any room or office!
How simple, yet elegant! Choose a great basket or container, fill it
with
paper or other filler, top with moss, stones, silk fowers and of course,
your one of a kind needle felted sculptures.
"I
am so loving needle felting. Thanks for your great customer service
and wide range of affordable products!"
Thanks,
Laura Burger Lynden Washington
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

With Love,

Martha McManus of Jacksonville, Florida sent us these great bunny
pals:
"Easter Raba-roo", "Love Bunny" and "Kosher
Rabbit with spring herbs".
"...needle felted with the color added over your core
wool.
Each one was made to represent one of my favorite co-workers who
get a kick out of seeing them decorating the corner of my desk
for spring."

Just a few newsletters ago we shared Lisa Schmidt's first
needle felt emulating a real animal -- and it was a truly fabulous
squirrel.
Well this little bunny is her latest, and he is stealing hearts
and
racking up bids on ebay as we type! Lisa shared this on facebook,
and you can grab a link to her auction there.
More on facebook.
