Felting Friends: Your Brilliant Ideas in Felt + Great Sale Items!

“Love yourself—accept yourself—forgive yourself—and be good to yourself,
because without you the rest of us
are without a source of many wonderful things.”
-Leo Buscaglia (and we agree!)

Each day, truly each moment, we get to begin again.
May you find in yourself today a great many things you love,
may you find in yourself the ability to forgive that which you do not,
and may you find in yourself the courage to begin again...
to live and love that person you know yourself to be.

We appreciate you. Thank you for sharing your inspired ideas with us all.

Karin Lawton felts a wonderful variety of bags!
Karen makes her bags from felted wool, or from fulling her own knitted piece.
She then needle felts directly onto the fabric or creates felted shapes and either stitches
or needle felts those on. Her bags are lined with cotton fabric,
and the handles are crocheted and then hand-sewn on.
Karen reports that, "It all takes a pretty long time but I enjoy it."
Most of her bags are used as gifts, saved or used as donations for silent auctions.

"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your products. Working with felt is truly a wonderful thing.
I use your Merino Cross Fast Felting Batts for most of my needle felting
and last week I tried Nuno Felting for the first time."

- Karin Lawton Albuquerque, New Mexico

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

Gertie Ball for Wet Felting a Hat, Bowl or Vessel
On Sale for $6.95!

This hard to find size is the ORIGINAL 34"-36" ball for beautiful hats and vessels.
This is the EXACT ball that comes in the HAT-ON-A-BALL KITS.

(The correct 'starting size' ball is very important for success
as the hats will shrink appropriately with wet felting)

The texture is slightly sticky, soft, resilient and perfect for the 'hat-on-a-ball' technique
or making vessels. Comes with two plugs, straw for quick inflation and rubber band.

The Gertie Ball

"Here is one of my newest jingle bell ball creations.
Made using your super awesome merino-cross felting batts!
Great for Halloween, or anytime you want a cute surprise!"

I have a small store on Etsy that showcases more balls,
all created with your felting batts. www.genevievehamilton.etsy.com Thanks!"

Karen Jones of Frisco, TX joined us recently for a purse
workshop, and she has submitted some fabulous doll entries
in both categories of this year's International Felting Contest.

"I have had such fun working with the wool that you sent me!
Here is a little doll and her kitty, Catherine and Catie, named after my mother
and the dress designed after the one my mother wore in a picture taken in 1914.
I used wool from the goody pack as well as the core wool,
and the colors linen, latte, and onyx MC-1 batting.

These wools were really great for needle felting
and I am looking forward to using more of Living Felt wool!
Thank you, again, ladies!"

Regards, Karen Jones Frisco, TX
