Quotes

  • The Artist is the person who makes life more interesting or beautiful, more understandable or mysterious, or probably, in the best sense, more wonderful.

    ~ George Bellows

    There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun.

    ~ Pablo Picasso

Ornament swap

I made this little felted teddy bear head -- my first ever felted bear (I'm very proud) -- for an ornament swap at www.teddytalk.com.  There's 20 gauge wire running through the finished head that connects it to a matte goldtone jingle bell dangling beneath, and I've tied a bunch of fun, colorful ribbon at the neck. Hope my partner likes it!

I received a really pretty icy blue and silvery white mini bear ornament from artist Kathy Taylor.  It's hanging on my tree in a very special spot.  So cute!

This was you first attempt at needlefelting??? Way to go Shel!!! You sneaky thing...beating me to it. I desperately want to try needlefelting as well, but you know...I am nervous about it and my index fingers already have this totally changed pattern if I get fingerprinted (many, many tiny holes everywhere),so what will these sharp needles do to my fingers...Totally awesome job you did! Hugs, Ellen

Shel...your little needle felt is really good for the first, ....and very cute... great idea for an ornie. Must go to TT and check out others...I am sure they are all showing and telling by now..just havent' been there for ages.

I love that I ran across your gorgeous first time felted bear when I was looking for felted stuff to oogle. Beautiful job on this!
