"Passion is a feeling that tells you: this is the right thing to do. Nothing can stand in my way.
It doesn't matter what anyone else says. This feeling is so good that it cannot be ignored.
I'm going to follow my bliss and act upon this glorious sensation of joy.”

~ Wayne W. Dyer

Our wish for you this week is that you do follow your bliss,
do what you love and love what you do,
and that you relish just being uniquely You!

Sue Sizemore of Vancouver, WA is always wowing us with her wonderful creations!
This week we marvel at her 8" Corgi!!

Made with Living Felt Core Wool and Camel MC-2 Batt.

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

Mira Broyles of Eagan, MN felted these happy
love birds out of Core Wool and MC-2 Fleshtone.
See and learn more on the blog.

We just fell in love with the mood setting cards by Ronda Loyer,
so we share more of her wonderful felted works
on the Felting Friends Blog this week.

If you are not sure which wool to start with, we
recommend our Merino-Cross Batts. We guarantee felting success!
Whether you are needle felting or wet felting, try anything with
an MC-1 next to it, and you'll love your outcome!

Check out this amazing cat felted by Patricia Bierer
of Muskego, WI...what a fabulous composition,
and made from the Earth Tones Studio Pack.

...and this fabulous sculpture 'Baby Trek' by Jolene Klassen
of Winnepeg, Canada. He is 12"! You can see how much
he resembles the real Trek on the Felting Friends Blog.

Jolene used Core Wool and the Earth Tones Studio Pack above.

If you can't decide which colors to choose (there are a lot!)
start with some studio packs, or check out our Studio Builder Packs!

Studio Builder 1 has 6 Studio Packs! This will stock your studio
with a great palette of color!

Studio Builder 2 adds core wool, foam and needles to the bundle!
Both are a great deal and discounted from the regular retail price.
